- Gopher.micro.umn.edu is a multihomed host with 5 or more IP addresses.
- There is a bug in LWP 4.12 which corrupts the first entry when
- gethostbyname() is called for a multihomed host with 5 or more ip
- addresses. This is the problem that everyone is encountering. LWP 4.12 is
- limited to a total of 5 ip addresses being returned by gethostbyname().
-
- Novell is aware of this problem and I expect it to be fixed in a future
- release.
