the recent MFC of the BIND 9 resolver library. Is this to be
expected? It will cause a bit of a hassle...

No, it shouldn't be that way. I heavily advocated that the STABLE
branches should be free from exactly these kinds of problems. Hopefully
this gets resolved.

After looking more deeply, I've found it is because our own software
plays with the semi-public _res structure to reduce the timeout and
retries in the DNS resolver routines. I found the changes in
/usr/include/resolv.h - references to _res.xxx are being changed via
macros into function calls to make the operations thread-aware. Now
that I know, I can work around it..
Guy
That's good to know. Still it sounds like an unintended consequence
that could cause problems for others.
