 changelog of the current development status, as one or more of these problems
 may have been fixed since this was written!
 
+* curl version 7.12.2 fails on AIX if compiled with --enable-ares.
+  The workaround is to combine --enable-ares with --disable-shared
+
 * When connecting to a SOCKS proxy, the (connect) timeout is not properly
   acknowledged after the actual TCP connect (during the SOCKS "negotiate"
   phase). Pointed out by Lucas. Fix: need to select() and timeout properly.
