Bug ID: 36015 Summary: FIFA 2002 demo crashes because gethostbyaddr with magic loopback address return NULL Product: Wine Version: 1.7.16 Hardware: x86 URL: http://www.fileplanet.com/80868/80000/fileinfo/FIFA-20 02-Demo OS: Linux Status: NEW Keywords: download Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: winsock Assignee: wine-bugs@winehq.org Reporter: 00cpxxx@gmail.com
Spotted while retesting bug 33246. If gethostbyaddr is hacked to use 127.0.0.1 instead of the value passed the demo will go further and show some screens (and then hang).
Maybe the right thing to do is to change back the magic address like done in some different places in the code, like the do_connect or bind function.
