Summary

0001361: gethostbyname() fails to resolve into more than 23 addresses

Description

If DNS returns more than 23 IP addresses for a host name, then gethostbyname()
fails - does not return the struct hostent and does not set error either.

En example of such hostname is vpn.corbina.net. As of today, it returns 24 IP addresses. Some time ago there were 26 addresses.

The problem exists in uClibc 0.9.28.1-0.9.28.3 (and probably 0.9.29). gethostbyname() of version 0.9.26 always returned only one address and was not
dependent on number of IPs returned by DNS.

Additional Information

A patch for version 0.9.28.3 is attached. It should be also applicable to 0.9.29.
