Bug description

In unix_gethostbyname(), my C library gethostbyname() returns a pointer to a structure where h_aliases is a null pointer (as far as I understand, it should not happen, but, well, it does...). I just wanted to suggest to modify alloc_host_entry's
aliases = copy_string_array((const char**)entry->h_aliases);
in
if (entry->h_aliases)
aliases = copy_string_array((const char**)entry->h_aliases);
else
aliases = Atom(0);
or something similar.

Additional information

Works on a broadcom 4702 MIPS (32 bit, small endian) "computer", cross compiled from an x86.
