Newer versions of glibc (2.7) in my case might return duplicate addrinfo structs in the results under certain circumstances. According to the friendly glibc maintainer ;) this is not a bug: http://sources.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=4980 Unfortunately he doesn't give a reason for this change in behavior.

BTW, I didn't find any reference in the related RFCs that state that the getaddrinfo results need to be unique (nor the opposite). In my current builds I simply patched slapd to check the getaddrinfo() results for uniqueness in the slap_get_listner_addresses() function. Has anybody a better idea how to fix this?
