Fixed an important bug with folded headers! g_strconcat() returns a *copy* of the string, but hdr->value still pointed to the old header (which probably was a memory leak, too). If the folded part had been quite small it was likely that the new string was at the same position as the old one, thus making everything go well. But if pretty long headers were folded several times it was likely that the new string was allocated somewhere else in memory, thus breaking things. In result mails to lots of recipients (folded header) were frequently only sent to the ones in the first line. Sorry for the inconvenience.

COMMENTS:

This is the second stab at a small library to interface to the Ident
protocol server. Maybe this will work correctly on some machines.. :-)
 
The ident-tester.c file is a small daemon (to be started from Inetd)
that does an ident lookup on you if you telnet into it. Can be used
to verify that your Ident server is working correctly.
 
I'm currently running this "ident-tester" on port 114 at lysator.liu.se
(130.236.254.1) if you wish to test your server.

This library now contains some higher-level routines, as well as a
similar test program to test these (lookup-tester).

/Pär Emanuelsson <pell@lysator.liu.se>, 4 April 1993


Support for NextStep 3.1 added.

/Michael Kuch <kuch@mailserv.zdv.uni-tuebingen.de>, 13 Aug 1993


Updated the ident.h header file to work with Linux, and reorganized the
Makefile for easier compilation...
