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?
