Bug description:  mysql_connect("localhost") dooesn't work

Description:
------------
After the update from 5.2.9 to 5.3.0RC1 the command

if(!$db = mysql_connect("localhost", "root", "root")) {
	die(mysql_error()." ".mysql_errno());
}

cause mysql timeout

if I use, instead:
if(!$db = mysql_connect("127.0.0.1", "root", "root")) {
	die(mysql_error()." ".mysql_errno());
}

All works. In php 5.2.9 all worked well.

Mysql Version is 5.0.77 (installed as windows service)
PHP Version is 5.3.0RC1
