This patch:
2000-01-27 URA Hiroshi <ura(a)hiru.aoba.yokohama.jp>
* config.h.in: added HAVE_GETADDRINFO and HAVE_GETNAMEINFO
breaks networking on AIX 4.3. This shows up in the IBM APARs as
IY04165, but there's not PTF for the problem (yet?) which makes
patching the OS a lengthy and impractical operation.
fixdist reports a fix available for this, at least for AIX 4.3.3.
Alledgedly, you can just get the list of required LPP's for 4.3.2 and
safely apply them, but that's 85 LPPs. Basically, they want you to
upgrade to 4.3.3-02 plus another 4-5 .11 level PTFs.
A number of the fixes are 4.3.3.11 level, which just came out last Friday-ish,
so if you researched this early last week you would indeed have found
"not available yet".
