         On October 23rd 2003, Dan C dug up more details on the mysteries of
         gethostbyname_r() in glibc:

         In glibc 2.2.5 the interface is different (this has also been
         discovered in glibc 2.1.1-6 as shipped by Redhat 6). What I can't
         explain, is that tests performed on glibc 2.2.4-34 and 2.2.4-32
         (shipped/upgraded by Redhat 7.2) don't show this behavior!

         In this "buggy" version, the return code is -1 on error and 'errno'
         is set to the ERANGE or EAGAIN code. Note that 'errno' is not a
         thread-safe variable.

       point to the same actual data! This have the unfortunate down-side that
