New interfaces.c hangs on OS X

Jeremy,

The new interfaces.c code hangs during configure on OS X at

	checking for iface AIX...

The problem is this block of code starting at line 394:

while (i > 0 && total < max_interfaces) {
  ....
  if (ifaces[total].flags & IFF_BROADCAST) {
    if (ioctl(fd, SIOCGIFBRDADDR, &ifr[i]) != 0) {
      continue;
    }
    memcpy(&ifaces[total].bcast, &ifr[i].ifr_broadaddr,
           sizeof(struct sockaddr_in));
  } else if (ifaces[total].flags & IFF_POINTOPOINT) {
    if (ioctl(fd, SIOCGIFDSTADDR, &ifr[i]) != 0) {
      continue;
    }
    memcpy(&ifaces[total].bcast, &ifr[i].ifr_dstaddr,
           sizeof(struct sockaddr_in));
  } else {
    continue;
  }

  total++;
}

James, Does this test complete for you?  I'm seeing the hang on
OS X 10.4.

My question is why are we forcing this run by setting HAVE_IFACE_AIX
when we know we're not on AIX?





cheers, jerry
