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(). -- Dossy -- Dossy Shiobara mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Panoptic Computer Network web: http://www.panoptic.com/ "He realized the fastest way to change is to laugh at your own folly -- then you can let go and quickly move on."
