  Modified files:
    lib/libc/rpc         get_myaddress.c 
  Log:
  Fix two bugs which caused various RPC programs (mountd, nfsd, ...)
  to fail under certain circumstances.
  
  1. In one spot, the ifr_flags member was being examined in the
  wrong structure, thus it contained garbage.  On a machine in which
  only the loopback interface was up, this caused everything that
  wanted to talk to the portmapper to fail -- a particular problem
  with laptops, where the pccard ethernet interface is likely to come
  up long after the attempt to start mountd, nfsd, amd, etc.
  
  2. Compounding the above problem, get_myaddress() returned a
  successful status even though it failed to find an address that it
  considered good enough.
