Date: Mon, 13 Nov 2000 20:04:22 +0100 From: Marcus Brinkmann <Marcus.Brinkmann@ruhr-uni-bochum.de> This is a glibc bug. In libc/hurd/get-host.c, the returned buffer is not null terminated if there is no newline in the file. A patch is below, I didn't test it, but it's sort of obvious what is going wrong. Mark, can you commit this or a patch with a similar effect? Thanks Marcus, I checked it in. Mark
