There's one in add_domainname(), too, but it can never be NULL (we could walk off the end of the buffer, but only if gethostname() lies to us about its result code, which seems unlikely). So I agree it's probably the call in canonical_name(). > Searching for OS X and ai_canonname, leads me straight back to this > list, although 7 years ago!

Interesting. We are already prepared for failure from getaddrinfo() here, so probably: diff --git a/ident.c b/ident.c index e20a772..d17b5bd 100644 --- a/ident.c +++ b/ident.c @@ -101,7 +101,7 @@ static int canonical_name(const char *host, struct strbuf *out) memset (&hints, '\0', sizeof (hints)); hints.ai_flags = AI_CANONNAME; if (!getaddrinfo(host, NULL, &hints, &ai)) { - if (ai && strchr(ai->ai_canonname, '.')) { + if (ai && ai->ai_canonname && strchr(ai->ai_canonname, '.')) { strbuf_addstr(out, ai->ai_canonname); status = 0; } would be sufficient. Jonas, can you see if that patch helps? -Peff
