[PATCH] Fix handling of /etc/hosts and /etc/networks with too long lines


Hi!

NEED_H_ERRNO is defined just by files-hosts.c, files-parse.c and
nis-hosts.c.  If parse_line fails with -1, it means at least for these
3 that the provided buffer was too small.  parse_list sets *errnop to
ERANGE, but doesn't set *herrnop to NETDB_INTERNAL, because that argument
is not passed to parse_line.  I first modified parse_line, so that
the caller passed H_ERRNO_ARG to it, but then realized that e.g. nss_nis
sets *herrnop explicitely in the caller and it is certainly far simpler
that way.

With this patch, getent hosts works as expected even when some lines
in /etc/hosts contain hundreds of aliases, without it it simply stopped
before first such line.

	* nss/nss_files/files-XXX.c (internal_getent): If parse_line returned
	-1, also do H_ERRNO_SET (NETDB_INTERNAL).
