I have rewritten the getaddrinfo.c implementation code
now since your letter (and travelled to Hungaroring and back),
and the frequency of the getaddrinfo() yielding wrong result
as gone down dramatically.
I have also found that systems (Linux and Hurd) with glibc
version 2.0/2.1/2.1.* are likely to contain incorrect implementation
of that same function -- namely it doesn't yield proper code
at DNS lookup timeouts, but claims EAI_NODATA.
The culprit is INNER NET's getaddrinfo() code, which may mean
that also some other systems have this same problem. I don't
know which all...
