Several times wrong, I'm afraid. It happens even with my 2.1 KDE, and
with scripts as well, and it didn't happen with my fresh 8.0 install but
only after I installed ppp-2.4.1, or some new version of initscripts
(which I sadly installed together, thus not knowing which caused the
bug).
IMHO it may be some of the scripts in /etc/sysconfig/networking, which
handle the renaming and switching of resolv.conf to deal with dynamic
DNS configuration. Sadly I'm not good enough at bash scripting to be of
any help.
