Bug Description

Trying to run mtr in a network without IPv6 results in the following error, even when told to use IPv4 only:

$ mtr -4 name.of.some.site
Unable to allocate IPv6 socket for nameserver communication: Address family not supported by protocol

Looks like mtr is still trying use IPv6 for name resolution. This is fixed in version 0.86:
