wireshark capture of failed DNS session

(In reply to comment #27)

Sorry for the slow response but I tested the new glibc-2.10.1-3
i686/i586. Unfortunately it has not fixed my problem. The ICMP
messages have gone away, but the DNS server is responding in the
same order as the requests which may explain it. A capture
is attached...

  [fdd@jibsheet ~]$ ssh -v fdd.com
  OpenSSH_5.2p1, OpenSSL 0.9.8k-fips 25 Mar 2009
  debug1: Reading configuration data /etc/ssh/ssh_config
  debug1: Applying options for *
  ssh: Could not resolve hostname fdd.com: Temporary failure in name resolution

Strangely, the new glibc also breaks gnome-terminal. The window
comes up with menus but no text in terminal area. There is a
pop-up error of, "There was an error creating the child process for
this terminal." xterm works fine, so it I tried running
gnome-terminal on the command line, but it prints
nothing more informative to stdout. I tried strac'ing
gnome-terminal and it never forks. Going back and forth
between glibc versions shows the breakage is clearly
dependent on the new glibc being installed. I don't need
to reboot, but I do need to kill all gnome-terminals.
Apparently it is bug 509632, and the remount command of
bug 509632 comment 9 fixes it.
