Description Mark Martinec 2011-08-24 14:11:47 UTC 
The M::SA::DnsResolver::load_resolver comes to an incorrect conclusion
on an IPv6-only host, claiming that inet6 is unavailable and requires
Net::DNS to use (a nonexistent) inet (IPv4), which then leads to
nonfunctional DNS tests in SpamAssassin.

Tested on FreeBSD 9.0B1, http://wiki.freebsd.org/IPv6Only

The attached fix removes a redundant tests which causes the trouble.
