Package: glibc Severity: normal Followup-For: Bug #181025 Hi. Here in .de, people are rushing to the new domain names. www.öko.de, www.müller.de, you name it. gethostbyname() returns a null pointer when fed one of those hostnames. Pretty please, get libidn into libc asap. It's a matter of time until this starts to become a real problem. Ping, lynx and the other (in this regard) broken tools aside, I don't think it would be possible to send mail to one of those domains. Abuse unreachable, spammers paradise. So long, Nick -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i586) Kernel: Linux 2.4.20 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=de_DE -- x----------------------------------------------------------------------x | Never touch a running sysop. | |----------------------------------------------------------------------| | Nicolas Kratz <nick@ikarus.dyndns.org> <n_kratz@cs.uni-frankfurt.de> | x----------------------------------------------------------------------x
