It's statically linked with bsdi libc.

Try creating a resolv.conf with only the line:

    lookup files

This is the `old' (pre-nsswitch) way to tell BIND not to look at DNS, and
should work with bsdi binaries.  It *shouldn't* confuse NetBSD binaries, so
long as nsswitch points at only files (though, I believe, we support both
methods for compatibility's sake).
