Hello all,

Before I file a bug maybe someone might recognize the following error  
and knows if I should blame GHC or someone at Apple. When trying to  
use the Network.BSD.getHostByName function ghci exits with a bus  
error. The same thing happens with ghc --make and runghc.

I'm using a Mac running Snow Leopard and GHC 6.10.4 from the MacOSX  
platform installer together with network-2.2.1.4. Never had any  
problems with this function before my upgrade to Snow Leopard. All  
other GHC functionality seems to be ok.

Should I file a bug or is this something already known?

Thanks,
