    Hi,

    I was wondering if anybody was working on an implementation of a reentrant
    gethostbyname_r function, mostly because it looks like mozilla/firebird will
    finally gain support for an async DNS thread in the near future. However,
    it is claimed in Mozilla's bug reporting system that FreeBSD 5.x doesn't
    have support for this. See

    http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=70213#c36

    A quick grep -r in /usr/src shows only hits in contrib, so it's probably
    true that it's not implemented.

    Any status?
