Thanks, Donn, for making my point for me.  :-)

The live bug database entry is at:

http://krbdev.mit.edu/rt/Ticket/Display.html?id=3107

Also, please note that we find it reasonable to fix the loadable
object problem independently of the fake_addrinfo issue.  I understand
that both issues arise from AIX 5.3 porting, but we like to track
issues with a reasonably fine granularity, as it makes maintenance
easier in the long run, especially if a problem found while porting to
one platform becomes relevant to a completely different platform.
