Question about getservbyport() -

[Peter Handel]

[r5, stock egcs/glibc]

I noticed yesterday that when getservbyport() receives a request
containing a port that /etc/services doesn't know about (such as
1022), it segfaults the program.  I would have guessed it would return
a null servent struct?  Here's the code:

#include <iostream.h>
#include <netdb.h>

void main() {
  struct servent sd;
  sd=*getservbyport(23, "tcp"); //1022
}

This works, but when 23 is replaced by 1022, wham-o.


Thanks,
Pete
