In the similar bug 313218, Colin Watson has a test glibc available in his PPA that may address this issue.He wrote:

  Could people affected by the original problem reported at the top of this bug report please install the libc6
  packages from here:

    deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/cjwatson/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main

  You can find the necessary public key and instructions here:

  This version of glibc incorporates a patch from Fedora which is said to address a similar-sounding issue,
  and I'd like to confirm whether it also fixes the problems people are encountering here.

  It would be nice if anyone with real IPv6 connectivity could also test this to ensure that I haven't broken
  anything for them. I've had a working IPv6 setup myself in the past, but it's broken at the moment and I
  thought I'd get this out for testing before spending too long trying to fix it.

Thanks!
