[talk] Is getaddrinfo thread-safe on OS X?

[Siobhan Lynch]

OK I didn’t see that you could;t find it…. let me see, I was;t going to do this, but I’ll delve in….

I have a deeper ignorance, too, about the relationship between the FreeBSD, Darwin, and Mac OS X implementations of libc functions like getaddrinfo. I don't know where to look for OS X's implementation of getaddrinfo either (I can't find it on opensource.apple.com <http://opensource.apple.com/>).
