        --- 8.4.7-T1B released --- (Sun Sep 11 18:05:50 PDT 2005)

1718. [bug] res_init()/res_ninit() could leak memory when
                        re-called. Improve res_ninit() documentation
                        to say the memory must be zeroed. Document
                        res_ndestroy().

1717. [bug] always use the hints when priming.

1716. [port] solaris: poll() support.

1715. [port] solaris: uses Sun's md5 implementation.

1714. [func] inet_nsap_ntoa(), sym_ntos(), sym_ntop(), p_option(),
                        p_time(), precsize_ntoa(), loc_ntoa() and
                        p_secstodate() are now thread safe.

1713. [bug] memcluster.c needed locks in the threaded build.

1712. [bug] turning off non-blocking i/o was broken.

1711. [cleanup] nslookup now uses connected UDP socket (except on MPE).

1710. [port] solaris: initialise domain from the NIS domain if
                        not set in resolv.conf.

1709. [cleanup] Silence ioctl(SIOCGLIFCONF) notice on EINVAL.

1708. [bug] Remove potential buffer overflows in dst_s_fopen()
                        and dst_read_key().

1707. [bug] Using $GENERATE for the zone's NS RRset caused the
                        zone to be rejected.

1706. [bug] The NS RRset in the authority section was being
                        truncated after 15 records.

1705. [cleanup] hesiod_init: memset context.

1704. [port] solaris: add backwards compatability for resolver
                        options "retrans:" and "retry:".

1703. [bug] res_nsendsigned() failed to differentiate in its
                        diagnostic messages between a TSIG error being reported
                        by the server (";; server rejected TSIG") and a TSIG
                        error in the reply(";; TSIG invalid").

1702. [port] solaris: #pragma weak putlong and putshort.

1701. [port] sparcv9: getaddrinfo.c: clear _ai_pad for binary
                        compatability.

                        descriptors (thanks to Bill Richter of Wells Fargo).

1697. [bug] Incorrect wildcard expansion when there is a label

                        <bortzmeyernic.fr>.

1692. [bug] inet_pton() accepted more that 4 hexadecimal digits
                        for each 16 bit piece of the IPv6 address. The text
                        representation of a IPv6 address has been tighted
                        to disallow this (draft-ietf-ipv6-addr-arch-v4-02.txt).

1691. [bug] named failed to detect some bad SOA records.

1690. [bug] When adding a new zone to a running instance named
                        failed to clean out cached records. This could
