Changelog for the c-ares project
+* Jun 30 2008 (Daniel Stenberg)
+
+- As was pointed out to me by Andreas Schuldei, the MAXHOSTNAMELEN define is
+ not posix or anything and thus c-ares failed to build on hurd (and possibly
+ elsewhere). The define was also somewhat artificially used in the windows
+ port. Now, I instead rewrote the use of gethostbyname to enlarge the host
+ name buffer in case of need and totally avoid the use of the MAXHOSTNAMELEN
+ define. I thus also removed the defien from the namser.h file where it was
+ once added for the windows build.
+
+ I also fixed init_by_defaults() function to not leak memory in case if
+ error.
