I am getting this same message when excuting NEWS.  I am right
now in the process of sorting through the source code to see if
I can locate the problem, but have not found it as yet.
     
In answer to your question about VMS 5.2, we are running VMS 5.1.
     
Thanks to all who sent a reply to my problem with GETHOSTBYNAME
and HTONS.
