Yes - I only found the bug last week. I was waiting to post it until I
could track down an appropriate FreeBSD contact to get the fixes
applied. Ah well.

The fixed Linux version will be released in NetKit-B-0.08 tonight. The
NetKit-B release has been delayed by considerations over the
RESOLV_HOST_CONF problem. :(

I know the fix has been applied to OpenBSD, and it's at least been
sent to NetBSD...
