Since PHC0_24402 didn't add getaddrinfo to libc.a and I don't have those other 
patches installed but libc.a has getaddrinfo, then there must be other ways 
than the documented patch sets to get libc.a to support getaddrinfo.

I must have a patch that supercedes PHCO_24400 and includes the getaddrinfo 
update to libc but which does not prereq the rest of the stuff that is required 
to make getaddrinfo() work.

Thanks for your help,
