Yay! My first paying customer.

mdns isn't my code, it's a bonjour library hosted at https://github.com/agnat/node_mdns. I took a look at those lines in the two source files but they don't say anything revealing.

A first step might be running the project's tests as described in the readme:

    git clone http://github.com/agnat/node_mdns
    cd node_mdns
    npm link && npm test

perhaps there is something funky about your network setup and the tests will expose it.

I can try creating a gentoo instance in virtualbox and see if that also has the error. Is there anything out of the ordinary about your machine? I'll pull down a standard install iso and pick 64 bit unless you tell me otherwise.
