Dear Sirs,

We are currently using the latest version of egcs and there is a bug in a system call. I am not sure if I tell you or who to tell. There is a problem with the gethostid() system call, and I don't know if it is the compiler or is it a problem with the kernel, or what, I am not sure. Our IP address on the box we are using is 129.162.91.47 and when we call gethostid() the return is 162.129.47.91. We thought it was a byte swap problem but when we run it through a byte swap function we get 91.47.129.162. We have corrected the problem in our code but I thought I should let someone know that there is a problem. We are using egcs 1.1.2, Linux 2.2.5, we are running on a box with dual intel P400s.

Thanks
