Thanks. However, since I have just changed job I am unable to test.

This one is down to bubbafat.

Hi Duncan and bubbafat,

Hi Duncan,

I think this is fixed in CVS now. Please can you try the snapshot at
http://nagiosplug.sf.net/snapshot.

This call with autoclose in 7 days if no updates are applied.

Same thing happens on Solaris 7 with gcc version egcs-
2.91.66 19990314 (egcs-1.1.2 release).

A lame fix is:

However, on Solaris 8 with gcc version 3.3.2, this is not 
needed.  netdb.h gets included somehow.  Haven't been able 
to trace it down.
