	The default for 8.1.1 install is to put the libs and such in
/usr/local, and leave the resolver library you have in place intact. As
far as I can see the patches just enforce this policy and make the
appropriate changes for freebsd-style man pages. I run an 8.1.1
nameserver on a -Stable machine and haven't had a problem.

	I don't know what you mean here.
