Hmm. I may have found an answer in last week's thread:
The specific routines in the Libinfo project (see Libinfo/
lookup.subproj/lu_*.c) that maintain thread-specific memory for
results are:
<...>
- gethostbyaddr gethostbyname gethostbyname2 gethostent sethostent
endhostent
It would be nice if this was documented in the man page..
