 Or make sure the Berkeley resolv library you link it with is really the
Berkeley library, not Sun's resolv (for some reason I forgot to move
libresolv-bsd.a over to libresolv.a). <<cough>>

 Followups to /dev/null; flames to /dev/dsk/funny-farm, where I wanted to
take a trip to when I realized why gethostbyaddr() was failing.
