rsync - Jan 2003 - rsync 2.5.6 fails on Tru64 v5.0 with rsync://<hostname>/

I've just compiled 2.5.6 release on Tru64 V5.0A (configure detects
alphaev67-dec-osf5.0, gcc release is a 3.1.1).

rsync fails using rsync://<hostname>/ syntax.

Is there anyone else that has the same problem ?

Apparently not. Did this work on this same OS in rsync version 2.5.5?

Try recompiling without getaddrinfo support:
  ac_cv_search_getaddrinfo=no ./configure ...
