Looking at bug 1257, it loks like the main change is to move the two lines
h_Hold_r(host);
h_Lock_r(host);
which is in hosts.c between 1.2.7.8 and 1.2.7.9
and called STABLE12-viced-alloc-hosts-held-and-locked-20030114
I am going to try and built the 1.2.8 with this change. If you see any
reason not to please let me know.
Thanks.
