php5-common: ipv6 support broken in 5.2.11

Package: php5-common
Version: 5.2.11.dfsg.1-2
Severity: important

after upgrading from lenny to squeeze php5 isn't able to include remote files via ipv6 (fsockopen). ipv6 networking is configured and working. 

for example if you use  

--------------------------------------8<-----------------------------------

include("http://ipv6host/test.php"); 

-------------------------------------->8-----------------------------------

php5 complains with the following error:

--------------------------------------8<-----------------------------------

warning: include(http://ipv6host/test.php) [function.include]: failed to open stream: operation failed in /var/www/dummy.php(1685) : eval()'d code on line 2. "

-------------------------------------->8-----------------------------------

using an ipv4 address works as expected.

quick test to reproduce this problem with 5.2.11.dfsg.1-2:

--------------------------------------8<-----------------------------------

php -r 'var_dump(fsockopen("[2001:1234:1234::1a]", 80));'

Warning: fsockopen(): unable to connect to [2001:1234:1234::1a]:80 (Unknown error) in Command line code on line 1
bool(false)

-------------------------------------->8-----------------------------------

working example with 5.2.6.dfsg.1-1+lenny4 

--------------------------------------8<-----------------------------------

php -r 'var_dump(fsockopen("[2001:1234:1234::1a]", 80));'
resource(4) of type (stream)

-------------------------------------->8-----------------------------------

this bug seems fixed in php 5.2.12, see http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=50214 for more information.
