[BUG] In glibc-2.3.2 libresolv

Subject: [BUG] In glibc-2.3.2 libresolv

Hi Everybody,
                      This is a bug in the glibc-2.3.2 runtime library
, i faced this while compiling TI 's OMAP 5912 toolchain with 2.6.8
kernel and gcc-3.3.2
so if you compile busybox and try the ping with a hostname you get a
segment fault but if you put the address in dot decmal format it works
fine ....
This problem is repeated in all applications i compiled with this
toolchain and runtime libraries including rlogin .. rshd rcp ..etc
anything that uses gethostbyname() is affected .....
If anybody has a patch for this please inform me ...
otherwise i took a unconventional approach and compiled another
toolchain with gcc-3.3.6 and glibc-2.3.5 , in this toolchain the
problem seems to be solved.

Hope this helps people compiling the 2.3.2 based toolchain ...

Regards
Deepak
