proftpd: No address associated with hostname

Hello,

I have been running proftpd for years (FreeBSD 4.11). Today I upgraded to
1.3.0rc2. And now I get this in my log:

"getaddrinfo 'asarian-host.net' error: No address associated with
hostname"

Yeah, right. I have googled on this quite a bit; but all I see are lame
recommendations like to add the hostname to /etc/hosts, or to DNS. As if
my hostname has not been resolving for years. :) Besides, it was working
fine with 1.2.9 just a few minutes ago.

Obviously something changed on the proftpd side. Does anyone here have the
answer?

P.S. I compiled, from ports, with:

make WITHOUT_PAM=yes WITHOUT_IPV6=yes WITH_OPENSSL=yes

Thanks,

- Mark
