+The problem is that ipv4Supported and ipv6Supported are both 0 when
+get_family_hint() runs in mono/metadata/socket-io.c.  This makes it
+return PF_INET6 for the hint, where the address type from the name
+resolution is actually PF_INET.
+
+Further investigation reveals that the little check for the creation
+of an IPv4 socket in Socket.cs does with no exception before the
+family hint is checked.  It seems that the value should be 1.
+
+Adding code that runs the CheckProtocolSupport() function right before
+GetHostByName_internal() did not help.
+
+Is it possible there are two instances of the same static variable? 
+Perhaps the mono internal code to look up the values of the static
+variables is broken?
