>Description:
the command "host" doesn't work. ALL lookups ends in failure.
even if you specify an external nameserver.
nameresoltion of other system commands are working fine ( netstat, who, nslookup, arp )

on 5.2.1 there was no problem. this problem occoured after upgrading to 5.3beta AND updating time_t to 64bits. i followed excatly what is written in  /usr/src/UPDATING.64BTT

i upgraded severaltimes to newest beta number, and also cleaned the whole source tree an rebuild multiple times "world, kernel"

Here a short part of CLI:
