Hi Daniel,

I can't reproduce this here, not even with all nameservers commented
out of /etc/resolv.conf (so it's not a case of the tests requiring
network access.)

Are you using a sitefinder-like lying DNS server that gives A records
for unexisting names? See e.g.

 http://lists.oarci.net/pipermail/dns-operations/2008-May/002678.html

In that case, I don't think this qualifies as 'serious' (although it
should probably be fixed anyway by disabling the corresponding tests.)
