Improved behavior in getaddrinfo() when scanning interfaces after being passed an IP address
Versions of glibc prior to this one would scan every IP address on an interface referenced by a getaddrinfo() call, even if the hostname passed was itself a numeric IP address. On systems with large numbers of IP addresses configured on the interface, this caused the call to take an excessive amount of time.
With this update, the scan happens only when needed and the call returns quickly when passed a numeric IP address.
