res_search problem

- Subject: res_search problem
I'm trying to port some code which uses res_search() to look up an SRV
record. The attached code works on Linux, Solaris, HP-UX, Darwin, and
Irix, but doesn't work on Cygwin. I'm not a DNS expert but this test
case is derived from code at:
http://www.libspf.org/doxygen/html/dns_8c-source.html
http://www.waider.ie/hacks/workshop/c/rvp/librvp-0.9.tar.gz
Am I missing something fundamental, or is res_search not working? (In
ethereal I can see the question being sent and the correct response coming
back - but the correct string does not seem to be in the buffer returned
from res_search().) Can someone point to an example of using
res_search() under Cygwin?
(If you want to try this yourself, you'll need to set srvname to the
name of a valid SRV record at your site)
