Public bug reported:

Arises from #1010724.

dig(1) says: "If no server argument is provided, dig consults
/etc/resolv.conf and queries the name servers listed there."

However, if /etc/resolv.conf contains "nameserver 127.0.0.1" and the
command is "dig aaaa -6 google.com" then, as seen in wireshark, dig
doesn't query 127.0.0.1 but ::1.
