Package: glibc Version: 2.7-12 Because getaddrinfo() calls directly into the NSS backends, it bypasses the initialization of the internal resolver structures (c.f. nss/getXXbyYY_r.c and inet/gethstbynm2_r.c). As a result, getaddrinfo() honors the resolver settings in /etc/host.conf *only* if one of the getXXbyYY_r functions is called first.
The behavior of getaddrinfo() should not be dependent on whether unrelated calls have done the setup of these internal structures; it should directly do the same initialization of the resolver config before calling the NSS backends. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
