Subject:   'host' command with CNAMEs

I've got two machines here, one running 4.1-STABLE (from Aug 3) and a
5.0-CURRENT (from Aug 10) and both of them show the same issue.  When
you use the 'host' command to resolve a CNAME, it will show all the A
records twice:

(7) smkelly@edgemaster:~$ host www.microsoft.com
www.microsoft.com is a nickname for microsoft.com
microsoft.com has address 207.46.130.45
microsoft.com has address 207.46.230.218
microsoft.com has address 207.46.230.219
microsoft.com has address 207.46.230.218
microsoft.com has address 207.46.230.219
microsoft.com has address 207.46.130.45

The host command never used to behave in this way and I'm not sure if
it is a bug with the program itself or the resolver.
