I am not an expert on the subject, but it looks as if getprotobyname() allocates a structure and returns a pointer to it. Thus, each time you call it, new structure is allocated and new pointer is returned. You can check it with
if(getprotobyname("tcp") != getprotobyname("tcp")) printf("Each call allocates new structure (assuming these were not NULL's)\n");
my getprotobyname() always returns the same pointer (even with different parameters - it modifies the structure of course), but it still grows
memory on some machines...
