This is a problem the unpatched SunOS has with resolving addresses that
contain multiple A records. Some famous examples include
www.microsoft.com, www.crl.com, www.lycos.com. Lynx running on SunOS
without the patch supplied by Sun will crash on any such site. A
workaround is to use the IP number itself, but that's obviously less than
optimal. Solaris does not have the problem.

That quality which enables us to believe what we know to be
