No, it doesn't. Try this command:
$ readelf -s ./monotone-0.26pre1-x86-semistatic | grep getnet

But it *does* use getaddrinfo(), which might be broken (resp. not implemented) 
on older systems according to some earlier messages.

So, I built a new binary that doesn't use getaddrinfo(), but gethostbyname() 
and getservbyname() instead. It has additionally ipv6 disabled, as this seems 
to cause problems, too.

Henry, could you please try this binary as a server on your rh9 and/or suse9.0 
machines and see, whether there are still name resolution failures?

It can be found at the usual place:

Currently, there's only a 0.26pre1 version, though.

Thomas
