I still object to this whole line of thought. How can you be sure that
the error is not caused by our hacking BIND into freebsd? There are so
many modifications that are made to the resolver for example that
passing this off to the BIND people is not a legitimate strategy without
even a cursory examination. "We don't want to deal with this PR so we're
making it go away" isn't a good model IMO.

No, it's nslookup that is obsolete.
