Subject: [Bug network/15946] getaddrinfo() writes DNS queries to random file descriptors under high load
Date: Thu, 06 Mar 2014 21:07:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <bug-15946-131-bYiNRFxGqu@http.sourceware.org/bugzilla/> (raw)

--- Comment #4 from Rich Felker <bugdal at aerifal dot cx> ---
I can look, but I'm not at all familiar with the code. The point of my last
comment however was that when a feature has a bug that's this critical, a big
hammer (disabling/removing the caching or whatever) is generally the right
solution unless/until someone is familiar enough to fix the problem on a more
detailed level. It's a shame that there's been a release with such a critical
bug (and anything that corrupts random open files is critical) left unfixed and
even unacknowledged.
