OK.  That wasn't actually stated in the problem description.

I've updated the problem description to indicate which one is which.

DNS reports NXDOMAIN for that host.  I'm unable to look at that
report, though I'd like to do so.

Where's the CR number?

I'm afraid I see no evidence that anyone ever filed such a request, at
least according to our bug tracking system, which makes the above
statement seem a bit less likely.

OK.  It wasn't clear whether the application was simply Linux-only and
thus the extra RT signals were potentially needed only for that
environment or whether the BrandZ usage was just a failed attempt at
getting the functionality needed.
