[gaim-migrate @ 4632] Ok, so this is a patch by Nicolas Lichtmaier (niqueco). You've probably noticed that when you try to sign an account on, the UI freezes for a while (esp. on poor connections). This was because gethostbyname() blocks. Nicolas's patch here forks a new process to resolve host names and returns them in a pipe. It makes things smoother and faster. Thanks so much, Nicolas. committer: Tailor Script <[e-mail]>
