Version: 2.3.2.ds1-10
Severity: normal
Various programs die with a segmentation fault in __ns_samename when
given a nonexistent network address. For example, "ping qwerty", "finger
@qwerty", and "wget http://qwerty/"; do this (when no host "qwerty"
exists). They do manage to print out an error message from the failed
query, and the segfault happens when they try to exit.
Here's a small program that segfaults:
------------------------------
#include <netdb.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
int main()
{
gethostbyname("qwerty");
exit(1);
}

Thanks for the followup; closing.
