   Hello!

   I just got an idea from a recent thread on debian-devel... libc 2.0.7u was
   compiled with egcs, so that might have caused the problems in the resolver 
   (see critical bug #27334). And it proved to be correct. I just compiled
   2.0.7u-5 with gcc on hamm, and it works nicely. The test environment:
   a list server with 35k deliveries a day. I installed the official
   2.0.7u-5, and got 50 "host not found" messages from sendmail in a minute.
   After that I installed the version compiled with gcc... it works
   flawlessly for 20 minutes now. So please recompile 2.0.7u with gcc
   (current 2.0.7u-5: Compiled by GNU CC version egcs-2.90.27 980315
   (egcs-1.0.2 release).)

hmm...
there are bugs (two, i think) in egcs-1.0.2. If you'd like, i can
provide you with 2.0.7u-5 compiled by egcs-1.1. Just tell me where 
to put all this stuff


regards

OK
