Public bug reported:

Suppose that:

1. you have a "search" line in your /etc/resolv.conf file;
2. it has two domains in it; and
3. the first of the two domains does DNSSEC, including returning NSEC records 
for nonexisting hosts.

In this situation, when you try to look up a host name in the second
domain without specifying the domain part of the host name, the libc
resolver will stop after it gets back the NSEC record and report that
the host name doesn't exist, rather than moving on to the second domain
in the search list and searching for the host in that domain.
