bug in gethostbyname_r?

[Greg Herlein]

I suspect a bug in the gethostbyname_r function in glibc.  I have
attached test code that demonstrates that using the normal
(non-reentrant) gethostbyname all is well, but using
gethostbyname_r fails.

I will try to dig into the library code itself as time allow, but
wanted to bring this issue to light.

I'm running on a stock SuSE linux 6.2 box with libc.so.6.

Is it me, or should this code work fine?
