** Description changed:

  [Impact]
  Socket failures due to uninitialized memory during name resolution.
  
  [Test Case]
  TBD
  
  [Regression Potential]
- Things to watch for would include memory-related issues and faults relating 
to long names or addresses.  The patch changes memory management for a data 
buffer used in socket communication.  There could be behavioral differences 
between handling of ipv4 and ipv6 addresses.
