[STR New]

cups' usage of getnameinfo/getaddrinfo triggers a bug in Compaq Tru64
UNIX V5.1B (Rev. 2650) which results in opening an instance of
/etc/hosts and /etc/ipnodes for every call (and not closing it again)

it seems that other software on OSF1 triggers the same bug. i don't
know if it is triggered by special circumstances or parameters in cups
or if it is unavoidable when using the getXXinfo() calls

#undef-ing HAVE_GETNAMEINFO/GETADDRINFO (using getXXbyYY()) works
around the fd-leak
