I agree it does seem odd, and I have seen this kind of stuff happening before. Once I started hunting it down, and found the reason for it. It was some time ago (2.2 ? 2.4 ? Not sure), so I'm reasonably sure it is not the same reason these days. But I hope I gave you are least some pointers for where to start looking.
Would I be correct if I summarized as "Looks like a bug, and possibly a regression that you had seen before"?
Possible.
I think then I'll first start by seeing if there is an open bug somewhere. I hate having to chase code right now as I'm trying to improve my knowledge and use of sendmail, DNS, ... and a whole host of other things that flew by me over the years. <*sigh*>
Anyhow, thanks for getting back to me. I'm going to try to work investigation of this in with the other things I've got going.
Actually, there are 2 places I always start when searching for information on kernel issues:
1) http://www.kernelnewbies.org/ 2) The Linux Kernel Mailinglist Archives
The name of the first option is a bit misleading. One would expect only to find very basic information there. Actually, it is a training ground for kernel hackers, so there is plenty of juicy info there.
