Version: 1:9.19.24-185-g392e7199df2-1

Dear Maintainer,

I was looking into an apparent problem on afraid.org today.  It only has
one IPv6 server with a glue record, and I couldn't get any response from
it, which I think will break IPv6-only resolvers.  I tried to use "delv"
to see how that would look:
        $ delv -6 +ns www.afraid.org. A
        ;; fetch: www.afraid.org/A
        ;; fetch: ./NS
        ;; sending packet to 192.112.36.4#53
        …
        ;; received packet from 69.65.50.193#53
        …
        www.afraid.org.         300     IN      A       174.128.246.100

It contacted 24 separate IPv4 servers to get that answer; even though,
according to the manual page:
        -6     This option forces delv to only use IPv6.

I powered up an IPv6-only system for comparison, and the resolution does
indeed fail there.  The -6 option should have produced the same behavior
on a dual-stack system.
