getHostByName peek causing segmentation fault

[tolkad]

I was trying to use simpleHTTP but it was causing a segmentation fault so I downloaded the network source and inlined it into my package and added debug statements everywhere until I figured out that:

Network.BSD.getHostByName is calling c_gethostbyname which is returning 0x0000000100c01100 Network.BSD.getHostByName is then calling peek on that pointer which is causing a segmentation fault

gdb said: Program received signal EXC_BAD_ACCESS, Could not access memory. Reason: KERN_INVALID_ADDRESS at address: 0xfffffffffffffff8 0x00000001006c7e62 in threadPaused ()

I am on Mac OS 10.6.6, ghc 7.0.1

I really have no idea what any of this means. Sorry.

After some more testing I determined that this is caused by #peek generating 4 byte offsets instead of 8 in the Storable instance for HostEntry?.

Mac OS ghc bug, nevermind.
