The fix is easy (if it is realy single threaded), basically provide your own

        res_state my_res;

and use

        res_ninit(&my_res)

instead of

        res_init();

(and a few more similar mechanical changes). "Fixing" it in NetBSD would be
very dangerous, and apparently not a lot programs nowadays rely on these
ancient, inherently non-threaded interfaces.
