Description Felix von Leitner 2004-10-11 16:19:25 UTC

http://sources.redhat.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/libc/resolv/res_init.c.diff?r1=1.40&r2=1.41&cvsroot=glibc

The glibc people have a fix in their CVS.  Please import!

Reproducible: Sometimes
Steps to Reproduce:
1. put ipv6 nameserver in /etc/resolv.conf
2. use glibc with nptl
3. try surfing with mozilla or konqueror

Actual Results:  
every other lookup fails mysteriously.  Sometimes reload works, sometimes not.

Expected Results:  
work all the time.
