Thor is running 6.0B. No, my hesiod changes did not make it into the
release. Can we *please* make sure they make it into 6.0C?

P.S. What is the policy for updating the source tree these days?
P.P.S There were two, count them, two bugs in the hesiod libaries. The
first invocation of /usr/athena/hesinfo demonstrates the first bug (use
of static variable in a recursive routine). The second invocation of
demonstrates the other bug: sipb.mit.edu was being resolved as a
rhs-extension even though it was a completely qualified domain name.
They've been around since we first release hesiod.
