gethostbyname – First chance exception 0×000006C5: The tag is invalid

November 4, 2006 at 9:42 am · Filed under C++, Programming

When running a Win32 application on WOW64, you’ll get such a first-chance exception–but the code will continue to work as usual. The exception only slows down operation. See: Bug report

Just to (hopefully) help those who google the above error.
