Ah.

``Could NOT get host by name (localhost): 1 <Unknown host>''

Yes, so it does.

:  I have no w95, only w98 SE.  Works for me:

No surprises there...

:
:    127.0.0.1	localhost

Any host. (That line is already in my hosts-file.)

:

I just tried it. It doesn't help.

Oh, I just found a build of September 15, and it shows the failure,
so the change should be somewhere between Sep 2 and then.

Also: Did you notice it works when invoked from strace or DOS command?

Could this have to do with env-vars?

Any other things I should try/report?


L8r,

Buzz.
