I suspect the fix is simple, but I don't know what it is.
But it raises another question: how should we document the IDN
extension of getaddrinfo? Libidn standalone contain a libidn.texi
that, I like to believe, cover most things about libidn. Except the
libc-specific integration, of course, which is perhaps the only part
that would be interesting to libc users.
Perhaps the most appropriate would be to briefly describe the AI_IDN
(and eventually AI_CANONIDN) flags where getaddrinfo is documented,
and add some paragraphs, or an entire section, about general IDN
issues? I can suggest a starting pointer for this, but English isn't
my native tongue and I'm not a good writer, so if someone better
inclined could do it, that would be good...
Thanks,
Simon
