Re: svn_client operations start failing - unable to resolve host name

Thanks for the reply.

So I spent ages digging into this (and related issues) last night, and
that is correct. gethostbyname() is indeed failing, spontaneously it
seems. However, as to why, I don't know yet. I'm suspecting something is
getting messed up in the local memory space that is affecting it. Other
processes do not seem to be affected.

I also tried using 1.7.7 client libraries (which I eventually got to
compile and more or less work from source once I stopped using a custom
built APR and used the one Apple provides on the platform). However, I was
running into stack corruption issues during repeated svn_client_cat2()
calls (the revision was getting overwritten, or the pointer was getting
changed and ended up being the URL string). I haven't yet figured these
issues out, or tried more current code than 1.7.7.
