>Description:
	wget uses an uninitialized struct sockaddr for networking.  For
	IPv4 this probably doesn't cause much trouble, but for IPv6 it
	can result in DAD occuring (~6 sec) before connect() returns (and
	possibly other more sinister problems).
>How-To-Repeat:
	Connect to an IPv6 address with wget and observe the delay and DAD
	activity on the wire via tcpdump.
