Note: On 10.10 and 10.20 the DNS API is contained in libc.
Programs which make DNS calls and are linked with
libc.a must be relinked.
Programs which are linked with ".a" libraries
are statically linked.
Statically linked programs may be tested as follows:
strings -a suspect_program | grep "Too many addresses (%d)"
If the program contains the string it may make
DNS API calls and should be relinked with the
fixed version of libc.a.
**REVISED 09**
Download libc.1.1010 and libc.a.1010 from the ftp
site mentioned above.
MD5 (libc.1.1010) = 87be3ba33250be16ad39345ed38f9875

cksum 4179986886 2280612 libc.a.1010
Install on 10.10 as follows:
1. Go to init state 2. Copy libc.1.1010 and
libc.a.1010 to a secure directory such as /.
2. cd /usr/lib
/usr/sbin/cp libc.1 libc.1.orig
/usr/sbin/cp /libc.1.1010 libc.1
/usr/sbin/cp libc.a libc.a.orig
/usr/sbin/cp /libc.a.1010 libc.a
