Further tests have found something very interesting.
1. The real issue is - ypserv seems to ALWAYS do dns lookups IF the hosts
map is empty.
Adding one entry (localhost) causes all versions to work as expected
(un-patched, new and old).
2. My previous "FIX" is not a fix, but was accompanied by a change in
another input to the problem (the hosts map on the test setup had entries in
it - I didn't set-up the test maps). A back check found that the original
version of ypserv on that machine did not do dns lookups.
So the workaround is to make sure you have at least one entry in your hosts map.
