>Description:
The man page states that:
"     The gethostbyname2() function is an evolution of gethostbyname() which is
     intended to allow lookups in address families other than AF_INET, for
     example AF_INET6.  Currently the af argument must be specified as AF_INET
     else the function will return NULL after having set h_errno to
     NETDB_INTERNAL.
"

However, passing AF_INET6 works fine these days.
>How-To-Repeat:
>Fix:
Drop the "Currently..." part.
