I'm finishing the checking that I started a long time ago that added sanity checking to the size of the return value for gethostbyaddr. Likely not strictly necessary, but will guard against possible bugs in the bind implementation related to hosts that return too much information. When I committed the first of these changes, I asked for opinions about this, and got none. I've been running these in my tree for the past 6 months w/o a hitch. I doubt they need to be merged into -stable. There isn't a way, as far as i know, to exploit them. If others disagree, please let me know. Warner
