That is the question, Brian. There were neither domain nor search entries
in my resolv.conf, only nameserver entries; which is why I quoted the
section from the man page, above. My hostname is devtech.com, which does
have "com" after the first '.' in the hostname. *Now* I have "domain
devtech.com", as the fix, and the spurious ".com" suffix is no longer being
added.

I'll agree that I should've had a domain entry to counter-balance the
hostname, as described above. But it sounds from your description as if you
want to at least check dnsjava to see how the .com was getting added, since
there seems to be some question as to what did it.
