In the NEWS file it says
* The resolver code has been updated from bind 8.2.2-5 which supports
threads. The integration was done by Andreas Jaeger and Adam D. Bradley.
This change could in some situations effect backward compatibility. Since
now `_res' is a thread-local instead of a global variable, modifying it
in one thread does not have any effect in other threads.
Should perhaps add something about the resolver and IPv6 transport.
If we don't mention it, people won't try it I think.
