gethostbyname() is able to do IPv6 resolutions (eg. ip6-localhost), and is
working on IPv4 numeric addresses by returning the address unchanged.
However, it doesn't work on IPv6 numeric addresses. In that cases, it returns a
NULL pointer, while I think it should return the IPv6 numeric address
unchanged.
