gethostbyaddr() doesn't work for localhost under W32/9x

["Ronald Landheer" <ronald at landheer dot com>]

Hello all,

  I have a small question: gethostbyaddr() doesn't work for localhost 
under W32/9x: the error set in errno is "operation not permitted".
I've attached the smallest testcase I can think of. What I'd like to 
know is why this doesn't work, while gethostbyname() on localhost works 
like a charm? Is this a bug in my brain, in W32/9x or in Cygwin 
(probably the second, possibly the first)

Ronald

NB: Work won't allow to spend time on Cygwin - so I won't be able to 
    fix anything as I won't be able to get the release form signed. 
    Should be possible in three months though: work won't exist anymore 
    :)
