Summary: WS2_32 version of gethostbyname with NULL argument
doesn't follow specification
Product: Wine
Version: 20030508
Platform: PC
OS/Version: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: wine-net
AssignedTo: wine-bugs at winehq.com
ReportedBy: rzoli at yahoo.com
According to Microsoft definition, a call to gethostbyname with a NULL argument
should produce a well-defined behaviour, namely return information about the
local host. A look at dlls/winsock/socket.c shows that the current
implementation does not do this.
I have encountered at least one program that tries to call gethostbyname with a
NULL argument and by doing so successfully crashes itself and/or wine.
