From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.3b) Gecko/20030119

Description of problem:
With RH 8.0 our application gets a SEGV during reverse 
DNS lookup.

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x40556c34 in __res_nquery () from /lib/libresolv.so.2

Might be related to bug #77467


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
glibc-2.2.93-5

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Any remote reverse dns lookup crashes the server process. 

Additional info:
This might be related to limited stack space (threads)
but extending the stack to 64k did not make a difference.
