Sadly the bug has been reported to the same "friendly" guy at redhat 
that we learned to know thanks to Ralf  and his bug on getaddrinfo.
So the answer has been more or less on the same line: "this is not a 
bug. go and fix your app"
My knowledge is not deep enough on this subject to discuss with him 
(supposing that: i) there is something to discuss; ii) it's worth to 
discuss with someone that simply denies to offer any explanation of any 
kind)
Anyone wants to step in?
