       Hi,

       It looks like the problems we run into because of the modified
version of Berkeley DB are not over. Despite the new name (libhtdb)
there still is a problem because the symbols in the library are
identical (same name) to the symbols in a regular libdb.
       This is a problem, for instance, if domain name resolution uses
a Berkely DB base to solve names. Someone in France reported such a problem

 
Example provided by Fabien Seisen <seisen@linuxfr.org>.
                  ----
                  #include <stdio.h>
                  #include <netdb.h>
                  int main(int argc, char *argv[])
                  {
                  struct servent *serv_ptr;

                  serv_ptr = getservbyname("telnet", "tcp");
                  if (serv_ptr) {
                  printf("name=%s port=%dn",
                  serv_ptr->s_name, ntohs(serv_ptr->s_port));
                  } else printf("pas trouvén");
                  exit(0);
                  }
                  ----
                  Avec gcc e.c le prog fonctionne.
                  $ gcc e.c
                  $ ./a.out
                  name=telnet port=23
                  $

                  $ gcc e.c -lhtdb
                  $ ./a.out
                  Segmentation fault
                  $

     The only bullet proof solution to this is to rename symbols (prefixing
them). Fabien will probably do this by himself. Otherwise I'll take care
of that next week.

        Cheers,
