  distributors that turned off the parallel IPv4-IPv6 lookup when
including glibc-2.9 (I would say probably majority of them) might want
to add a bullet-point omitted from NEWS (Ulrich might want to still add
it too) about the most prominent issue with glibc-2.9, also covered on
Ulrich's weblog:

  * DNS IPv4-IPv6 lookup changed back to parallel version; with broken
    DNS servers (the case e.g. for many ADSL users), you may experience long
    timeouts, once for each process (but eventually your request will be
    resolved) - the solution is to run nscd or put 'options single-request'
    in /etc/resolv.conf.

  (I will prepare a resolv.conf(5) patch soon, too.)
