The uptime on most of my systems is pretty high and it's possible that
through various dist-upgrades I've gone between eglibc and glibc without

as name resolution and gethostbyaddr()/getaddrinfo() are concerned,
though.

Ugg, I must have been crosseyed when I saw that.  : is obviously not =.
Thanks, it looks like the default has not changed.  Very strange.
