Author: Steve Langasek OpenLDAP upstream conservatively assumes that certain resolver functions (getaddrinfo, getnameinfo, res_query, dn_expand) are not re-entrant; but we know that the glibc implementations of these functions are thread-safe, so we should bypass the use of this mutex. This fixes a locking problem when an application uses libldap and libnss-ldap is also used for hosts resolution. Closes Debian bug #340601. Not suitable for forwarding upstream; might be made suitable by adding a configure-time check for glibc and disabling the mutex only on known thread-safe implementations.
