Hi All

This is in continuation of my previous mail.

I am giving the source code of my program that is giving me the segfault when
I give an invalid IP address to this program.

For the same invalid IP address "curl" rightly says that it couldn't resolve
the host.

If anybody has any clue why it is failing please let me know.

My observations
-------------------
 1. if run the same program with catchsegv I don't get any segfault.

 2. I went through the source code in hostip.c. I wrote a test program
     using gethostbynagme_r(). hostip.c assumes that if gethostbynagme_r()
     returns 0, there must be a hostent in the buffer passed to it.
     But that is not the case. I am also attaching a program to test
gethostbyname_r()

If the problem is only with gethostbynagme_r() "curl" command also should not
work. But it is working fine.

   I am running my program like this

   ./tx ftp://192.168.128.45:/abcd /home/kilaru/abcd admin:123456

   hostname passed to gethostbynagme_r() is "192.168.128.45:". For this
   argument gethostbynagme_r() returns 0, h_errnop = 1 h = NULL

   I am running curl like this

   ./curl -T /home/kilaru/text --url ftp://192.168.128.45:/abcd
                 -u admin:123456

   hostname passed to gethostbynagme_r() is same as above.
          gethostbynagme_r() returns 2, h_errnop = 1 h = NULL

Hope that that info helps.

Thank you

Bye
Kilaru
