>Description:
Use openvpn with pam plugin and pam_krb5 to authorize.
Take Kerberos Realm and Kdc from DNS.
Observe the authorizing proc to keep one file + kevent for every
authorization until it runs out of descriptors.
File is /etc/resolv.conf.

Problem is operation "dns_lookup_int" from heimdal/dist/lib/roken/resolve.c
where every call runs "res_ninit" on fresh state.
>How-To-Repeat:
See above.
>Fix:
Workaround is to specify Realm and Kdc and "dns_fallback=false" in
file /etc/krb5.conf.

Possible fix is either passing a static state to "res_ninit" or
releasing state with "res_ndestroy".
