   Ah, yes.  The real problem here is that Hesiod needs -lresolv on Suns,
   since it uses res_send().  I will fix configure.in to check for
   -lresolv only if Hesiod is used.


Actually, while you're at it, you may want to include -lnsl in this
category as well.  It is definitely not required on sol1 without
-lresolv.  I removed them both, and haven't tested with one and not
the other.   I'm still having regular server crashes.  I expect (hope)
to have some details to send in today as I figure out what the problem
is.  (I think there's some memory corruption.  Sometimes right before
a crash some users start getting other users' zgrams.)
