Yes, that'll teach me to respond to emails at three in the morning.
At a minimum, you would have needed to update dist/bind/lib/dns/forward.c
as well, since that's where the function is actually defined.  (Details,
details...)  But I'd agree it was safer to update the whole tree anyway.

The macro PORT_NONBLOCK isn't getting defined anywhere for some
reason.  What version of dist/bind/lib/bind/configure.in is in your tree?
(The correct one should include a definition of that macro.  If you
updated everything, it should have got pulled in, but give it a grep.)

Certainly 3.1 updates correctly without incident, as I've done it on
more than one machine.
