If we call dhclient as follows in its not able to update resolv.conf even
though the tcpdump shows that the system receives ipv6 DNS namserver
information to be updated

dhclient -6 -nw -S eth0

-bash-4.2# tcpdump -i eth0
tcpdump: WARNING: eth0: no IPv4 address assigned
tcpdump: verbose output suppressed, use -v or -vv for full protocol decode
listening on eth0, link-type EN10MB (Ethernet), capture size 65535 bytes

I compiled the same dhclient with glibc version glibc-2.17 and it works just
fine. Therefore I am assuming here its problem in glibc code itself 

I tested this on Fedora 19 glibc-2.17 and dhclient-4.2.5(from ISC website)
