           Product: Wireshark
           Version: SVN
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Fedora
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Minor
          Priority: Low

Warning:

addr_resolv.c:2311 warning: passing argument 5 of 'ares_gethostbyaddr' from
incompatible pointer type.

Some investigation shows that the c-ares ABI/API was changed from v 1.4... to
v1.5....

See:
http://daniel.haxx.se/projects/c-ares/mail/c-ares-archive-2007-11/0015.shtml

Among other things a timeout argument was added for ares_host_callback.


So: Wireshark gets a compile error on my Fedora 8 system which has c-ares
v1.4.0


Should we require c-ares version to be 1.5...  ??
