Bug#12762885: 61713: MYSQL WILL NOT BIND TO "LOCALHOST" IF LOCALHOST IS BOTH
IPV4/IPV6 ENABLED Analysis: ---------------------- The problem was that if a hostname resolves to more than one IP-address, the server (5.5) does not start due to an error. In 5.1 the server used to take some IP-address and start. It's a regression and should be fixed. 5.5 supports IPv6, while 5.1 does not. However, that should not prevent the server from start -- if a hostname has both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses, the server should choose some IPv4-address and start. It's been decided to prefer IPv4-address to be backward compatible with 5.1. Another problem was that the 5.6 server did not report proper error message when the specified hostname could not be resolved. So, the code has been changed to report proper error message.
