Now the order of the searching address family is statically
defined in libc. So if the target has AAAA recored, then it is
tried first.
Currently, another workaround is, using '-4' option.
telnet -4 localhost
And what is your desired behaviour?
If your desire is that always IPv4 address is tried first,
then we can add some swith to change the order.
(But it will be after 4.0.)
