Except, apparently, not for Lamar Saxon...

Actually, I suggested the patch, but can't try it out, Lamar did that.
It would be nice if someone at IBM could check into this for us and let
us know why the __res_state struct we allocate isn't enough, when the
docs we've found all seem to suggest that it should be.
Um, how does this relate to thread support?

So, are you saying that AI_NUMERICSERV doesn't work for numeric service
strings on AIX 5.2? (And does this relate to thread support?)
