"FreeBSD 4.x, all versions of OpenBSD, and all versions of NetBSD have broken gethostbyname_r() implementations that cause Tor's threads to stomp on each other. So rather than threading on these platforms, we made Tor fork new processes. This means you need way more memory to run a Tor server, especially an exit server. If you want to run a Tor server, we recommend you upgrade to a better OS."

are they correct regarding gethostbyname_r()?

thanks
