hostname resolution for libc5-compat apps

["Thomas Gebhardt" <gebhardt@HRZ.Uni-Marburg.DE>]

Hi,

when I start ddd (from ddd-smotif) on a remote hamm system it cannot
resolve the hostname given in the DISPLAY variable:

_X11TransSocketINETConnect: Can't get address for pcrz64 

If I set the DISPLAY to the IP address, it is ok.

Other X11 applications don't show this problem.

I argue that this problem is due to the fact that ddd is a libc5-compat
application.

My nsswitch.conf says:

hosts:          files dns     

Is this a bug or is it my fault?

Cheers, Thomas
