All,

I'm not sure who to report this to, but I have verified a problem with
'gethostbyname' in the newest glibc-1.99 for Alpha. Using the simplest
program possible (attached below), and without a 'host:' line in
nsswitch.conf, it works properly when given either a resolvable
namestring or dotted-quad IP address.

However, if you place a 'host:' clause in nsswitch.conf with ANYTHING as
an arguement (even db and/or files!), gethostbyname() fails when given a
dotted-quad address.

Definitely a bug in my book. If anyone knows who might be interested in
this, would you please forward it to same? Many thanks.

Steve
