In my recent attempt to build kaffe with the "diet libc" I noticed some 
#warnings, given by "diet libc":

../kaffevm/.libs/libkaffevm.a(syscalls.o)(.text+0x4e8): In function 
`jthreadedGetHostByAddr':
/home/mp26/erwin/kaffe/kaffe/kaffevm/systems/unix-jthreads/syscalls.c:270: 
warning: gethostbyaddr() leaks memory.  Use gethostbyaddr_r instead!
../kaffevm/.libs/libkaffevm.a(syscalls.o)(.text+0x493): In function 
`jthreadedGetHostByName':
/home/mp26/erwin/kaffe/kaffe/kaffevm/systems/unix-jthreads/syscalls.c:251: 
warning: gethostbyname() leaks memory.  Use gethostbyname_r instead!



Maybe that is one of the leaks?
