Re: gentoo/wget fails during 'emerge system' (ipv6 enabled)

[ari <edelkind-debug@episec.com>]

I have created the patch and submitted it to the wget-patches mailing
list.  The patch may be found at:

    http://www.episec.com/people/edelkind/patches/

I also created an ebuild patch and submitted it to the gentoo-users
mailing list.  An archive of that mail may be found at:
