python.org coming back as unreachable in Dillo (IPv6 routing error?)

I've filed a Debian bug-report against Dillo which is the 
problematic app.  My home ISP (SBC Global) apparently doesn't 
support IPv6, or if it does, something fails between them and my 
laptop (perhaps my router).  I think the easiest solution for now 
is just to disable IPv6 in my /etc/modprobe.d/aliases as I've 
seen suggested elsewhere until either my ISP routes IPv6 packets 
properly, or the Dillo bug is fixed.

Thanks for your help!
