Package: libc6 Version: 2.3.2.ds1-22 Severity: important sysconf(_SC_HOST_NAME_MAX) always returns -1, rather than the maximum host name length (as documented in sysconf(3)). This also been reported elsewhere:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=130733 It's not clear from the report exactly which version of glibc fixes this, but it's still broken in Debian glibc. HOST_NAME_MAX is also undefined, meaning you can't determine the value at compile-time either.
