After hearing that FreeBSD wasn't thread safe, I posted to the FreeBSD
lists to find out what is up ...

FreeBSD 5.x has a getpwuid_r function that should be used ... and, the
word I got from one of the developers was that getaddrinfo(3) should be
used instead of gethostbyname ...

getaddrinfo is available in both ...
