[PATCH] Fix getaddrinfo leaking memory


Hi!

If getaddrinfo is called without _res initialized, it will leak memory
until some other function is called which initializes it.
The problem is that gaih_inet saves old options (0 in this case) and
after lookup (which as a side-effect initialized it) restores _res.option
from the saved value (which means next time _res will be initialized
again).  Also, if _res has not been initialized before getaddrinfo, the
_res.options &= ~RES_USE_INET6 line is a nop (it will be initialized
to RES_USE_INET6 during initialization anyway).
The following patch fixes it.

2004-02-23  Jakub Jelinek  <jakub@redhat.com>

	* sysdeps/posix/getaddrinfo.c (gaih_inet): If _res has not been
	inited yet, try to init it before saving old _res.options.
	* posix/Makefile (xtests): Add bug-ga2.
	(generated): Add bug-ga2.mtrace and bug-ga2-mem.
	(xtests): Depend on bug-ga2-mem.
	($(objpfx)bug-ga2-mem, bug-ga2-ENV): New.
	* posix/bug-ga2.c: New test.
