Hi, While resolving a hostname to many ip addresses the response buffer gets corrupted in __dns_gethostbyx_r. (Example: www.megaupload.com -> 23 ip addresses). The following patch will fix this issue by returning only 7 ip addresses to the caller. This is not the nicest, but the least intrusive solution so far. http://jusa.telco-tech.de/patches/dietlibc-gethostbyx.patch Gernot -- Verbringe deine Zeit nicht mit der Suche nach einem Hindernis, vielleicht ist keins da.
