-1.2 didn't fix it, and it behaves the same in -1.4, it's caused by a glibc resolving function... IIRC it tries to resolve AAAA adresses before looking A addresses up in the /etc/hosts file. Anyway, it's not fixed with that supposed workaround, at least not for me. We may not like the behaviour, but I'm still not sure whether it's a feature or a bug... severity normal for now - Espy (glibc maintainer) will know how to take care of it. -- enJoy -*/\*- don't even try to pronounce my first name
