This is a gnu libc bug. AI_CANONNAME is not supposed to do a PTR lookup,
and in fact doesn't do so in most circumstances. The trunk code works
around this bug as of May 3 (issue #7124); we thought we had worked around
the bug in 1.10 (issue #6922) but it turns out that AI_ADDRCONFIG triggers
the bug as does AF_INET4.
The suggested patch turns off too much canonicalization. The desired
behavior with rdns=false is that the search domain is appended and CNAMES
are resolved, but no PTR lookup is performed.
