I just updated my system glibc to version 2.10.1 and this update
seems to have broken my caching name server pdnsd.

A caching name server stores all recent DNS lookups into a local cache
so that any subsequent lookups of the same address are much faster.
The caching name server I use is pdnsd because it preserves all DNS 
lookups at system shutdown.

But now pdnsd does not work and the only change has been the new
glibc update.  Re-emerging pdnsd with the new glibc does not fix
this.  Before I file yet another bug report I want to request
a confirmation.  Are there any pdnsd users that have updated glibc to
2.10.1 and now have a broken pdnsd?

Until this problem is resolved I have switched to using named from
the BIND package as a caching name server, but named is a heavyweight
compared to pdnsd and does not preserve the cache at shutdown.
