Thanks for the review. The same line has two changes: using *errnop
instead of errno and the changed condition, which addresses what I
described above:

*h_errnop != NO_RECOVERY
to
*h_errnop == NO_RECOVERY

I guess the missing bz entry in the ChangeLog is for the other patch?

	[BZ #13760]
	* resolv/nss_dns/dns-host.c (gaih_getanswer): Look for errno
	in the right place. Discard and retry query if response is
	larger than input buffer size.
