Under glibc-2.1.1-6b, I cannot do an NFS-mount using the numeric IP
address of the server. Without even consulting the net, mount says:
  mount: can't get address for xx.xx.xx.xx

Under glibc-2.1.1-5b, it works correctly.

I tracked this down to gethostbyname, which doesn't work correctly when
fed a numeric IP address.

If I run the the attached program as
 tstgethbn 193.252.19.78 
I get a correct result when glibc-2.1.1-5b.ppc.rpm is installed, and an
error when glibc-2.1.1-6b.ppc.rpm is installed. Both rpms are from
mirror.linuxppc.org.

Could someone who knows what changed between 5b and 6b please look into
this?
