36	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

I am on Mac OS 10.6.6, ghc 7.0.1

I really have no idea what any of this means. Sorry."	defect	closed	critical		network	2.3	invalid
