glibc->res_query function

[Pravin Bansal]

Hi There,

I have a problem in glibc-2.2.5-34 on RH 7.3 while using res_query() function.

I am using res_query() function from 'libresolv' library but after getting the result from the DNS server its not closing the UDP sockets it had opened to connect to the server. (res_close() is also not working). By time, we get an error saying "Too many open files".

However, its closing the sockets on a RH 9.0 with glibc-2.3.2-11.9

What do I need to do in order to rectify the problem on RH 7.3 (glibc-2.2.5-34) ???

Thanks,
Pravin
