Re: hostent - Data structure error?

[Scott Klement <sk@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Frank,

Yes, you're connect.    I'm surprised that I never noticed this before 
-- I guess I must never have used those two fields!

 (The other fields are correct -- since pointer are always aligned on 
16 byte boundaries, changing the integers doesn't affect the position of 
the pointers after them.)

I'll update it in my copy... thanks!
