I´ll see if i can try.
In the meantime i tried to find out why postfix fails: for the "postfix"
port, it fails in postfix´ src/util/inet_addr_local.c and (thank Wietse
Venema, it seems _all_ files have a builtin TEST case with a main() !!!)
one can compile just this file with
cc -o TEST -DTEST -DFREEBSD5 -I../../include -L../../lib inet_addr_local.c -lutil
in that same subdirctory and get a program TEST which when executed exhibits
the above described behaviour.
The main thing this program does is to open a socket and then do a
ioctl(sock, SIOCGIFCONF, (char *) &ifc)
which does not fail, but seems that it somehow does not work as advertized
anymore.
Perhaps i can find out more later as i now have to tell my kids
a goodnight story ....
