Update: the bug was indeed in cygwin, and is now fixed - POSIX requires implementations to handle NULL hints, and while most of cygwin's code paths did this correctly, one path mistakenly dereferenced hints without the null check: http://sources.redhat.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/src/winsup/cygwin/net.cc.diff? cvsroot=src&r1=1.251&r2=1.252 That said, this patch would still be useful in gnulib. > OK to apply this patch? > > From: Eric Blake <ebb9 <at> byu.net> > Date: Fri, 27 Mar 2009 08:16:39 -0600 > Subject: [PATCH] test-strerror: make debugging EAI_SYSTEM easier -- Eric Blake
