The patch id=980 works without any problem in HP-UX. When I digged more on this 
to find the corner case, I found in the patch id=946 the following code seems to 
be responsible for the problem.

>if ((p = strchr(host, ':')) != NULL && strchr(p+1, ':') != NULL)
>ret = asprintf(&p, "[%s]:%hd", host, port); /* IPv6 */
>else
>ret = asprintf(&p, "%s:%hd", host, port);

This call asprintf is not supported in HP-UX libc and it is part of glibc. Even 
when I used the equivalent sprintf to avoid compilation errors, it results in 
coredump as said in attachment id=954. If needed I will attach the gdb backtrace 
of the coredump.
