  while we're talking about strange installations of the sun server
  and clients, note that i recently discovered that the 4.3BSD netdb.h
  for the nameserver, if installed in /usr/include, will cause all
  clients to die with a segmentation fault in the XOpenDisplay code.

  it appears that

#define h_addr  h_addr_list[0]  /* address, for backward compatiblity */
  
  doesn't work as advertised.  we've noticed this in other
  applications as well.  can anyone explain?
