Which version of glibc introduce this?

If it is a glibc thing it is nothing I can do anything about... Unless vnc do not use gethostbyname for some strange reason. It would not surprise me... I'll see what I can do about it. Please try to see if it is the same problem on xvnc4viewer if you have the time.
