+* Implement second fallback mode for optimized DNS lookup for even more
+ broken environments. If two requests from the same port are not
+ handled correctly close the socket and open a new one before sending
+ the second request. The 'single-request-reopen' option in /etc/resolv.conf
+ can be used to select this mode right away, instead of rediscovering the
+ necessity is every process again.
+ Implemented by Ulrich Drepper.
