Note Submitter: Eric Terstegen ---- In the sample code gethostbyaddr_timeout there is a bug with the random transaction generation piece. It can generate a single byte which malforms the packet as it is not correctly padded. Verifying the 2 bytes seems to work well. This is around the lines: $data = rand(0, 99); // trim it to 2 bytes $data = substr($data, 0, 2); You can change to: $data = rand(10, 99); for a quick and dirty fix.
