No, the patch is for the dns/dig test. Your problem is with the
normal DNS lookups used for all the other tests.

All of your failures have status "4", which means "not found".
I.e. the DNS server responded that it does not know this name.

These names that fail - are they in the DNS, or are they in a local
/etc/hosts file ? Or perhaps you are using NIS (YP) ?  That would in
fact explain this problem nicely, since c-ares does not support NIS.

I am interested in seeing what you have for

* the "hosts" entry in /etc/nsswitch.conf
* your /etc/host.conf (if you have one)
* your /etc/resolv.conf

Whatever the cause of the problem, I will probably implement some sort
of setting so bbtest-net can fall back to the standard gethostbyname()
function used until now. But I would like to understand what the
problem is ...
