Hi

I wanted to confirm problems with DNS resolver on 64-bit architectures.
I built 7.10.7 and tried to run 'make tests' but lt-curl dumps core.
(backtrace included below). Anyway - the resolver seems to be broken
on 64-bit Digital Alpha (running FreeBSD 4-stable):

# curl http://localhost
curl: (6) Couldn't resolve host 'localhost'

# curl -v http://127.0.0.1
* Couldn't resolve host '127.0.0.1'
* Closing connection #0
curl: (6) Couldn't resolve host '127.0.0.1'

Here's what gdb says for curl crash.

GNU gdb 4.18 (FreeBSD)
Core was generated by `lt-curl'.
Program terminated with signal 11, Segmentation fault.
