+- Dan C tracked down yet another weird behavior in the glibc gethostbyname_r()
+  function for some specific versions (reported on 2.2.5 and 2.1.1), and
+  provided a fix. On Linux machines with these glibc versioins, non-ipv6
+  builds of libcurl would often fail to resolve perfectly resolvable host
+  names.

 - James Bursa found out that curl_msnprintf() could write the trailing
   zero-byte outside its given buffer size. This could happen if you generated

+         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.
