Comment (by ttcoder):

 Modified the code to do away with the obsolete `gethostbyname()` and the
 code is now 100% solid in my testing, even if using ridiculously short
 delays.

 Might not be all that interesting for the Haiku project, but I posted the
 above anyway because ticket surfers might find the code of interest to
 migrate their old apps to be re-entrant I suppose. Beware though -- It's
 certainly been a bit of a learning experience for me doing this twenty-
 liner, been 10+ years since I last had to look up man pages for sockets
 and sockadd and sockaddr_in and what not, probably missed something! The
 code works for me though.
