Did you upgrade anything else in your source > tree between the time you installed and the time you rebuilt libc? I had previously done a make world with the latest 2.1.7 code. After the patch and libc recompile, nslookup broke. Simply recompiling nslookup fixed it. I did nothing else to the source inbetween. That's incredibly odd. Nslookup(1) doesn't touch rcmd.c at all. Not to belabour the point, but are you absolutely SURE that nothing else touched the source tree in between the time you did the make world and when you applied the patch to rcmd.c? I'm not saying I don't believe you, I just can't fathom how Warner's change could have bothered nslookup(1) at all... :-) I'm betting there's another explanation... - Dan C.
