What you say looks really weird : lots of other libc-related
functions in Guile (e.g., opening a file, a socket...) give us
absolutely no problem. Thus we still don't have a convincing
explanation for why it is especially (gethostbyname) that is
behaving this way, and not the stream-related, nor the other
socket/internet-related functions...
