In OS 5, NetLibGetHostByName() returns a non-zero value even if there is an error.

To reproduce it, call NetLibGetHostByName() to resolve an non-existing host name.

In OS 4 Emulator, NetLibGetHostByName() will return zero and err will have a value of 4668. This is the correct case.

In OS 5 Simulator (rel_dr12), NetLibGetHostByName() will return non-zero, but the returned NetHostInfoPtr will have addrType=0, addrLen=0 and err=4625.

In Tungsten T, NetLibGetHostByName() will return non-zero, but the returned NetHostInfoPtr will have addrType=0, addrLen=0 and err=4688.

I have submitted the case to PalmOS.com already.

Thanks.

Tony Cheung
