No, that's a bug in the linkage between fetch and libftpio.  libftpio is
not correctly passing out error codes from it's internal routines, so
the higher level stuff is getting confused.

named, not resolver.  Named verifies the authority stuff, and in this case
one of the .fi servers appears to be non functional:
