Hmm, probably this really is not curl's fault...

I wrote a little demo program that uses getaddrinfo() to resolve the hostname, and even that fails.

Thaking a deeper look at the dump you can see that the TCP request includes both, A *and* AAAA query. So who or what is to blame? glibc?

** [bugs:#1346] resolver error**

libcurl has a resolver bug that requires some conditions to trigger:
* libcurl tries to resolv A and AAAA records
* DNS response is too long to fit into a UDP packet
What happens:
* libcurl sends two DNS UDP requests, one for A record, one for AAAA record
* libcurl receives one truncated UDP response
* libcurl sends TCP request
* libcurl receives TCP response
* libcurl sends TCP reset, ignoring the response
Everything works just fine when querying only A record (give option -4).
A capture demonstrating the problem is attached.
