[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#521184: libnss-mdns: successful mdns4 lookups produce unaligned accesses

[Chris Collins]

Package: libnss-mdns
Version: 0.10-3
Severity: normal


resolving mdns4 hostnames (foo.local) results in unaligned accesses when successful.

This is due to poor alignment of results in the result buffer.

Patch attached resolves the issue.
