Here is a link to a thread on libc-alpha about the dns resolver bug. I don't know if Bruno's patch still applies, but perhaps this will help someone pick this back up. http://www.cygwin.com/ml/libc-alpha/2002-09/msg00374.html IIRC, follow-up emails indicated that Roland McGrath had applied some of Bruno's changes, but objected to some of it. Bruno should know more about this. ---Nathan
