I don't think the X server is the real reason. I suspect it's just passively helping the bug to surface. If I were to suspect anything, it would be the Linux emulation package. Who could tell us if Linux users have seen this problem? In that connection, I seem to recall seeing some mention about needing a Linux version of resolv.conf, but I can't recall where. Any pointers?
