I did a cvs update, make, then rebuilt and tested thread_test.  I ran it
about 120 times and got "GETHOSTBYNAME_THREADSAFE=yes" almost all of the
time.  I got "GETHOSTBYNAME_THREADSAFE=no" three times.  The other two were
always "yes".

I did verify that both the "volatile" and "localhost" changes were in there.

Dumb question...  Why would you not always use the _r functions if they
exist?
