I don't know whether this is worth filing a PR for, but it seems the 
resolver no longer likes leading zeroes in an IP4 address in /etc/hosts.
The change (in 5- ) appeared sometime in the last month or two.

Personally I'm inclined to view this as a regression although it's 
simple enough to work around.

Cheers,
jan
