This is what I posted to comp.os.linux.networking:

Then posted:

I tracked it down with a 1.21-1 release of netdate by Debian.  I still
don't understand why it is dying, but I did find that it occured in the 
gethostbyname function.  I have tried other software without the "bug"
showing its ugly head.  The other software includes telnet and ftp.

I have used libc versions 5.0.9, 5.2.10, and 5.2.11.

Anything else I can try?

Sean

P.S.  Could my copy of the kernel have a harddrive induced bug?
