At least not as much as one would want, see gethostbyname(3), under
BUGS:
These functions use static data storage; if the data is needed for
future use, it should be copied before any subsequent calls overwrite
it.
You could, of course, write a gethostbyname_r wrapper utilizing a mutex
and some malloc() magic.
