From: Ulrich Drepper <drepper@redhat.com> Date: 19 Jul 2000 15:06:26 -0700 Thanks, I've applied the patch. Before you'll al yell at me :-(, I failed to mention that the patch changes the size of _res, at least on the i386, because the previously reserved bytes have been exhausted. So you might see some sendmail: Symbol `_res' has different size in shared object, consider re-linking messages. I believe they are harmless (since the space in libc's BSS ends up being used, which is large enough) and the issue is addressed in the FAQ. The only binary on my system that seems to be affected is sendmail. However, since `struct __res_state' is now used in the new resolver interfaces we should avoid that this happens again, probably by adding some padding again. Mark
