Stable-CVS commit on June 8: hostname lookup failures !?!

Hi,

I upgraded my kernel & world from cvs2.freebsd.org (time stamp about
June 9th 8:00 UTC). After that, the browsers mozilla and opera hang
when looking up hostnames (but konqueror worked fine, strange, isn't it?).

I booted up with kernel.old, to no avail. So I concluded the problem
is in the the world upgrade.

With up- and downgrading, I narrowed down the offending commit to CVS:

Establishing multiplexed-mode data connection
Running
Updating collection src-all/cvs
  Edit src/bin/ps/ps.c
   Add delta 1.30.2.15 2004.06.08.00.11.26 gad
  Edit src/lib/libc/stdio/fclose.c
   Add delta 1.8.2.1 2004.06.08.13.15.01 hmp
  Edit src/sys/net/bpf.h
   Add delta 1.21.2.5 2004.06.08.21.16.42 dwmalone
Shutting down connection to server

Does anyone have an idea what is the connection between my mozilla/opera's
behaviour and these commits? Is this a bug in Stable?

Regards,
Rob.
