Hello,

several problems have been found within the sources of ulxmlrpcpp. When using 
huge double values there was the possibility to corrupt the stack due to a 
too small buffer. Additionally there were problems with non-reentrant system 
calls to gethostbyname() and others under high load. All these problems can 
lead to crashes. 

All those issues seem to be fixed now and can be downloaded via subversion. 
There will be a new release in about a week. It is recommended to use this 
new release in the future. If you want to stick with an older version due to 
compatibility reasons I can help to fix older sources as all the problems 
seem to exist from the very beginning.

greets
