It would probably be a good idea to make gethostbyname() thread safe.
This is on Linux, I presume. The libc call is guarded by a mutex, so it should be thread safe as long as no nonpike threads use it.

I had two pike-threads that did gethostbyname().
This on RH9. They sometimes randomly got the same answer.

The problem isn't gethostbyname() itself, it's the returned buffer. Pike needs to copy the data to a separate area before releasing gethostbyname_mutex.
It guards the call with a mutex, but it doesn't bother to copy away the result before releasing it. :P

Someone better make a crunch ticket about it; at least I have other things to do right now.
