Perform deep unix magic in order to identify if we are running in aSOUP_0_5SOUP_0_4soup-0-4

2001-08-28  Alex Graveley  <alex@ximian.com>

	* src/soup-core/soup-socket.c (soup_address_new): Perform deep
	unix magic in order to identify if we are running in a
	debugger. This is needed because gdb causes segfaults in child
	processes that load shlibs due to breakpoints being left over in
	the new unwatched process. Now, gethostbyname() loads shared libs
	to do name resolution on many unixes, which would cause soup to be
	hard to use and otherwise suck when run inside a debugger. So now
	everything works perfectly both inside and outside of gdb.
	(soup_address_new_cb): Resolve the hostname syncronously if we are
	inside a debugger.
