           Summary: PowerPC Mac OS X server browser failing...
           Product: Quake 3
           Version: SVN HEAD
          Platform: Macintosh
        OS/Version: MacOS X
            Status: NEW
          Severity: major
          Priority: P3
         Component: Platform
        AssignedTo: zakk at icculus.org
        ReportedBy: icculus at icculus.org
         QAContact: quake3-bugzilla at icculus.org


I assume this is either a bug in PowerPC OS X, or a bug in Intel OS X, but the
behaviour is different between the two.

Basically: the server browser is hosed. It gives this error as it queries each
server in the list:

   Sys_StringToSockaddr: Error resolving 209.51.138.221: Bad hints

LAN browsing worked, because Sys_StringToSockaddr() specified a real value for
(family), whereas Internet browsing appears to leave this as AF_UNSPEC.

Passing a NULL hint structure instead of a pointer to a zero'd out one fixes
the issue on PowerPC OS X, so I'm attaching a patch that does so if the family
is unspecified.

This patch should be harmless on Intel Mac OS X, but appears to work without
it, so it might be that our code is fine, and this is a workaround for an OS
bug.

Haven't tested this recently on 10.4, but it looks like this net code is new
since the last time I tried, so it may not be a 10.5-specific thing.
