Chris, that was exactly the hint I needed, thanks a lot!
Just defining AppHostInfo didn't help, though --- it would still crash.
I ended up declaring AppHostInfo, AppNetRefnum, AppNetTimeout, AppServInfo,
and h_errno as global. Now it compiles, runs, and actually connects to
the server, but...
...another peculiar problem is that read() from a (tcp) socket returns -1,
i.e. no data. So I fired up the debugger and traced the calls to read.
Surprisingly, everything worked fine now (data gets read and send as it
should be). Again, without debugger --- nope, with debugger --- OK.
Does somebody have an idea why an app would work with gdb, but not without?
Cheers, Ren�
