>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.
