I have run into a problem and was wondering if any of you have seen this
before:

gethostbyname() SEGV's when linked by the C++ linker.  I saw this once
before trying to use an X app remotely, but I worked around it. 
Apparently the function called vasprintf() jumps from 0x81234567 or
something to 0xbeef or something, which is WAY out of shared library
space...

I tried sethostent(1) -- no luck.  Anyone know enough about linker
functioning to have a clue?  Why only under g++?  Apparently it's a gnu
thing, works fine on Suns.
I even reinstalled the new libraries.

-David.
