Subject: RE: cygwin 1.3.17-1 gethostbyname() leak

I can confirm it loses about 8k every sample of the Win2k Pro task manager
performance monitor - PIII 800MHz.  It doesn't seem to be the scroll buffer
or anything like that, and it is all free'd by ?Windows? when the program is
terminated.  Also removing the call to gethostbyname() and leaving a similar
printf doesn't give the same issue so it does appear to be gethostbyname()
that is doing it.

Cheers,

Steve Fairbairn

Anyone else confirm that the following program compiled under
gcc 3.2, cygwin 1.3.17-1, on Win2k leaks memory?

/*-----------------------------------------------------------*/

#include <netdb.h>
#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
  struct hostent *host;

  while ( 1 )
  {
    if ( ( host = gethostbyname( "localhost" ) ) != NULL )
      printf( "gethostbyname(): %s\n", host->h_name );
  }
}
