They changed the initializations to something that would allow copy on write shared library data to be used as well. Basically, it's getting rid of local data for crappy shared library implementations. If you mixed old and new implementations (check the bind release notes), then the behaviour became undefined, even if you recompiled everything. One (hack) fix is to call the initialization before it's strictly allowed. > > The ones that Matt Day reported and provided patches for in both Linux > > and BSD and to the package authors? > > I don't remember seeing it. Was in on the ports mailing list? No. It was on hackers and it was sent to one or more NetBSD and Linux lists, as well as being mailed to Allman & company.
