We discussed this in July, but it never got fixed in the release. We
either need to edit /usr/include/arpa/nameser.h to change PACKETSZ
from 512 to 1500, or change /source/athena/athena.lib/hesiod/resolve.c
to use a define other than PACKETSZ when allocating packet buffers.
As things stand now, a hesiod request which attempts to return more
than ~450 bytes of data (such as the grouplist of someone in more than
30 groups) will get an error and not return any data at all.
After fixing the hesiod library, login, xlogin, hesinfo, nslookup, and
probably other progs need to be re-linked.
