For future reference:

Don't have an empty search line in /etc/resolv.conf, remove it or give
it a domain name list to search.  Also, be very careful of excess
whitespace & blank lines.  I don't think the OSF/1 resolver library is
a featureful as ours.

Greg's problem was apparently an empty "search" line.
