[help-serveez] DNS Coserver weirdness

[Andreas Rottmann]

Hi!

In my server instance initializer I try to connect to peers using
coserver_dns calls (this is exactly what the gnutella server does,
too). This works fine normally, but I get problems when running my
server in GDB:

...
[2002/12/29 14:56:35] notice: starting internal dns coserver

[2002/12/29 14:56:38] debug: coserver pipes: 6-15
...

The 'dstw: ' messages come from my client, the 'enqueing manu' message
is made directly before using the DNS coserver. I first figured that the
coserver isn't started up fast enough, so it gets killed and restarted
because of the too-early request... 

However, I then moved the coserver calls into the server notify
function, which waited for two seconds before trying to use DNS the
first time, and I got the same results... DNS coserver being killed
and restarted, not returing any result.

Thanks for any help,
       Andy
