Engelschall >Release: FreeBSD 4.10-STABLE i386 >Organization: Engelschall, Germany. >Environment: System: FreeBSD en1.engelschall.com 4.10-STABLE FreeBSD 4.10-STABLE #0: Wed Jun 9 09:38:39 CEST 2004 root@en1.engelschall.com:/v/dsk/0/g/usr.src/sys/compile/EN1 i386 >Description: On 9-Jun-2004 I've upgraded my FreeBSD desktop at home to the latest 4.10-STABLE. After this Mozilla and Opera were no longer able to resolve any DNS records. I've found that by just replacing /usr/lib/libc_r.so.4 with my backup copy from 4.10-STABLE as of 2-Jun-2004 the two applications are running fine again. libc.so.4 seems to be not affected, because only applications linked against libc_r.so.4 seemed to be broken. So, some MFC to RELENG_4 between 2-Jun-2004 and 9-Jun-2004 has broken the resolver in libc_r. >How-To-Repeat: Use latest 4.10-STABLE and try to run Opera 7.51 or Mozilla 1.6 and watch them hanging forever displaying "Resolving www.example.com" after entering http://www.example.com/. >Fix: I've not investigated what particular MFC between 2-Jun-2004 and 9-Jun-2004 caused this, but backing out this will certainly fix it because using the libc_r.so.4 from 2-Jun-2004 fixes the problem immediately. Sorry, I'm today leaving for holiday so I cannot investigate myself further, but the problematic MFC should be not too hard to find as there were not so much MFCs to libc during the mentioned time range AFAIK. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
