AOLserver 3.4.2 uses the old (not thread-safe) gethostbyname() and
getaddrbyname() functions.  AOLserver 4.0.9 will use the newer and
according to specifications, thread-safe, getaddrinfo() and
getnameinfo() functions.

However, it appears that some platforms haven't implemented these "new"
(if you consider 1999 "new") functions correctly and/or to spec.

I'd search the FreeBSD bug database (assuming it exists) for any open
bugs filed against getnameinfo() and/or getaddrinfo().
