Andy,
This pertains to the latest release, and possibly earlier releases...
At line 152 of XrdNet/XrdNetDNS.cc I found
char *XrdNetDNS::getHostName(struct sockaddr &InetAddr, char **errtxt)
{
char *result;
if (getHostName(InetAddr, &result, 1, errtxt)) return result;
and so we see that "result" is not initialized, but could be returned
in some unusual cases (badly configured DNS systems that are missing a
reverse lookup, for example). Your intent is not clear, so I won't
pretend to suggest a fix...
Share and Enjoy.
