    Fix a potentially very annoying evdns bug that we found in Tor.
    
    Generally speaking, it way better to event_assign() an event when you
    allocate it than to assign it before every time you event_add it: if
    it is already event_add()ed, the assign will mess it up so that it
    doesn't _look_ added, and event_add() will insert a second copy.
    Later, event_del() will only delete the second copy.  Eventually, the
    event_base will have a dangling pointer to freed memory.  Ouch!

  • To build libevent, type
    
    $ ./configure && make
    
         (If you got libevent from the subversion repository, you will
          first need to run the included "autogen.sh" script in order to
          generate the configure script.)
    
    Install as root via
    
    # make install
    
    You can run the regression tests by
    
    $ make verify
    
    Before, reporting any problems, please run the regression tests.
    
    To enable the low-level tracing build the library as:
    
    CFLAGS=-DUSE_DEBUG ./configure [...]
