RE: gethostbyaddr() doesn't work for localhost under W32/9x


Hello Corinna,

Just to make sure: I have the latest download of Cygwin (all packages) 
on a W32/98SE system, all patches M$ applied. I systematically get a 
"permission denied" when I run the testcase.
I may have bugs in my brain, but I'm not imagining things (I think). 
What could cause this?

Ronald
