Functions gethostby* ,from glibc, work directly with the /etc/hosts file.If
this functions didn't find an entry for the client, will be crashed.
I try to find in the Andrew e-mail if he has installed the glibc 2.2.x but i
don't see nothing about it.What i see is, he use 2.95.x which is declared by
MySQL like unstable.In this context can be a coincidence what is happened.
Also i don't find difference in MYSQL daemon source code(hostname.cc)
between 4.0.7 and 4.0.8.
Regards,
Gelu
