The problem has brought up by me in this list already before,
only not under this aspect. 

The workaround was, so far, to turn off IPV6 in the kernel.

I admit, not a beautiful solution. I posted an excerpt (sample program
that had been posted to bugzilla on mozilla.org under some bug report)

Look into this list under posts this and last week.
