After that, both bhe and he point to new structure, which holds hostent struct for mcast address... That's why bind() failed, so I had to use IPADDR_ANY... If we all look at manual page for gethostbyname(3), we can see that this behaviour is not strange, as noted in "NOTES": The functions gethostbyname() and gethostbyaddr() may return pointers to static data, which may be overwritten by later calls. Copying the struct hostent does not suffice, since it contains pointers - a deep copy is required. I'll correct this later and send a patch :) -- Lazar Obradovic, System Engineer ----- laza@xxxxxx YUnet International http://www.EUnet.yu Dubrovacka 35/III, 11000 Belgrade Tel: +381 11 3119901; Fax: +381 11 3119901 ----- This e-mail is confidential and intended only for the recipient.
