Ah, okay. Since I'm using system's BIND, I'll simply
replace gethostbyname_r() with a call to gethostbyname()
in this program and hope for the best [it doesn't look like
a reentrant version is needed in this special case]. I'll
google for the synopsis of gethostbyname_r() now.

Thanks for clarifying this!
