As described at
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/sys/compat/linux/linux_socket.c
there was a problem with the Linux compatibility code that could cause
name-resolution to fail.  It only showed up with linux_base-7, and it has
been fixed.  If you're using linux_base-7 with FreeBSD-CURRENT from
October 26 or earlier, or with FreeBSD-STABLE from November 7 or earlier,
the most obvious ways to avoid the problem are to either replace
linux_base-7 with linux_base-62 or to update to a recent version of
FreeBSD.
