MAXPACKET changes and Netscape java-vm

[Thorsten Kukuk]

Hi,

We have 4 patches, where we increased the minimum value of
MAXPACKET from 1024 to 65536, to avoid a buffer overrun.

with this changes, the java vm from netscape crashes with a seg.fault,
if it calls gethostbyname(). It looks like it overrides the stack.

Is this really what we want? I don't know the underlying problem,
but is there no other way to fix it without allocating so much memory
on the stack? Or any other way, how we could fix this without 
breaking java support?

  Thorsten
