in your section about common reentrant extensions, you mention the IPv6
apis. these are currently _not_ a viable alternative to the missing
traditional gethostby{name,addr}_r entrypoints due to a bug in KAME. they
are not threadsafe. your process will deadlock if multiple threads call
getipnodeby{addr,name}. see http://orange.kame.net/dev/query-pr.cgi?pr=277.
