In it the manpage is dated 1995 and claims that getaddrinfo is not thread-safe. I'm not familiar with Ecos in any way, shape, or form, but I'm curious: Are you really using such an old library? If not, the prevalence of this page in google is a real disservice to unsuspecting newcomers of socket programming and could use a bit of updating. Thanks for your time. -- Jeff
