Generally mcstransd works well on MLS enabled system, but if "Reload
Translations" triggered, it will fail to translate any MLS level.

* Why it fails:

Check process_trans() in mcstrans.c:

  723 process_trans(char *buffer) {
  724         static domain_t *domain;
  [snip] ...
  784         if (!domain) {
  785                 domain = create_domain("Default");

While reloading translations, the struct of domain will be destroyed
but the static pointer will be kept, it becomes wild and prevents the
create_domain() from running; Then invalid domain will be used for
initializing hashtable that stores translations data.

* Fix to it:

Define local *domain to get the struct of domain always be initialized;
Use static hashtable to store all translations data.

Not really familiar with this code, but if you make this change, then
where is domain initialized prior to first use?

The local domain will be initialized every time while calling the process_trans():

784         if (!domain) {
785                 domain = create_domain("Default");

but to be clear, the local "domain" definition should be:

+	domain_t *domain = NULL;


  	static word_group_t *group;
  	static int base_classification;
  	static int lineno = 0;

And why is it ok for these to remain static?

Oh, I need more test to verify those features, my testcase is only for default "setrans.conf".

I'll update the patch after all test done.

Thanks
Wenzong
