Why? Because you can only reproduce it once you enable smbfs?

That's always a good idea, but I've heard sourceforge being mentioned
multiple times in relation to this. I think sf users don't have much
influence on the configuration of those systems.

Moving the Get_Hostbyname() call to inside the if(ip) seems a proper
solution.

That would assume ip always is NULL. Do you have any indication that it
is?

Rather curious by the way that the only call to get_myname passes NULL
for my_name, but that could be well be caused by the fact that we only
partially include the samba files.
