Jeremie, Thanks for the patch. I'll get it included shortly.
I'll also try for inclusion in lenny as IPv6 is a release goal, however we are in very deep freeze so I can't make any promises. Mark -original message- Subject: Bug#511407: bing: segfaults on IPv6 addresses From: Jeremie Koenig <[email protected]> Date: 11/01/2009 02:53 Package: bing Version: 1.1.3-1 Tags: patch, ipv6 Hello, Bing assumes that gethostbyname() returns IPv4 addresses. With "options inet6" in /etc/resolv.conf, or on IPv6-only hosts, this is no longer true and bing will segfault trying to fit a 128 bits address in a 32 bits buffer. The attached patch updates bing to use the modern getaddrinfo/getnameinfo resolver interfaces, which will ensure only AF_INET addresses are returned.
