Fix for RES_ROTATE option

Since Git commit 3a85895fa3e15b8d53856161a4ba3950d44ea285 RES_ROTATE seems broken as the nameservers are not rotate anymore if specifying options rotate in /etc/resolv.conf

Always the second entry is queries instead of a rotate on all specified nameservers.

I investigated the issue back to commit 3a85895fa3e15b8d53856161a4ba3950d44ea285.

The attached patch fixes the rotate option, but I didnt try if this also breaks the main cause of the commit.

The bug has originally bee reported at Debians Bugtracker at
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=593571

but as far I investigated other distributions are affected too like Gentoo and Fedora..
