[Bug libc/5491] New: Valgrind detects invalid read during getaddrinfo w/o nscd running


This is using glibc 2.7 (the entry box needs to be fixed...)

When I use getaddrinfo, valgrind detects a read of size 8 when 'nscd' is not
running.  When 'nscd' is running, it does not...
(In 32-bit mode it is an invalid read of size 4 ... so I bet its a ptr or size_t...)

Attached is a source file which demonstrates this problem.
Also attached is the 2 valgrind outputs (32 and 64-bit versions).


Details:
I'm running Gentoo Linux w/ `uname -a`:
Linux shiva 2.6.22-ck1 #6 SMP Tue Sep 25 04:53:20 EDT 2007 x86_64 AMD Athlon(tm)
64 X2 Dual Core Processor 6000+ AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux
