Hi,

I've been doing some testing with valgrind. It looks like the res_nsearch

API is leaking memory on my system. From doing a little Googling this
is apparently because some OSs do not supply the required res_ndestroy
function? Does anyone have further info?

When I look at theis the last time I thougth it happened on platforms
with res_ndestroy too ?

Also, it seems the below is inconsistent. If res_ndestroy is called in
the error condition should it not be called outside the do/while?

Yes, try 1.57 of lib/roken/resolve.c

Try harder to call res_ndestroy().
