Summary:                    gethostbyname() fails to resolve into more than 23
addresses
Description: 
If DNS returns more than 23 IP addresses for a host name, then
gethostbyname()
fails - does not return the struct hostent and does not set error either.

En example of such hostname is vpn.corbina.net. As of today, it returns 24
IP addresses. Some time ago there were 26 addresses.

The problem exists in uClibc 0.9.28.1-0.9.28.3 (and probably 0.9.29).
gethostbyname() of version 0.9.26 always returned only one address and was
not
dependent on number of IPs returned by DNS.
