The current getaddrinfo code prefers listening on ipv4-only instead of
ipv4+ipv6 as previously. The gaitest.c file demonstrates the problem.
On a machine with both ipv4 and ipv6 connectivity, it returns:
* ipv4 (only)
* ipv6+ipv4
Listening for ipv6 connections never hurts, even if no one will ever
reach the server via ipv6.
