It is for now. :-(

It never used to be, but some bug crept in which has now made it a
mandatory field.  I've looked through the code in question several
times and can't reproduce any nameserver variable related crashes in
multiuser mode (and its value is checked for NULL everywhere it's
used).  It's very strange.  Anyway, I'm certainly going to try and fix
it but, up to now, have been too busy with other things to set up the
kind of testing environment I could both reproduce and debug the
problem with - if I can't reproduce this running multiuser, I have to
add debugging code for the purpose. :-(

Enter a nameserver value then nuke your /etc/resolv.conf when you
come up.
