[Xastir] Networking issue for Cygwin

[easternontariotracks at gmail.com]

That works!  I take it this confirms the specified values are working and
the issue is with the contents of the rest of the structure.  Documentation
suggests the other hints fields should be 0 or null pointers, so I added a
test on the three pointer fields { as for example
(hints.ai_addr==NULL)?"Null":"Not null" } and without the memset hack they
all turn up "Not null".  Could this mean Cygwin is initializing the
structure in an unusual way?
Thanks,
Russ

Hello.

Could you try doing a memset to 0 of hints in net_init before the hints
fields are set and see if that helps?  In my copy it is line 3457 in
interface.c.

Thanks
