OK, but just as a data point, over in Postfix-land we've not had
any trouble with _res in the legacy resolver API on any supported
platforms. And if you use res_ninit() you get to have your own
private resolver state. So it is not clear why Exim would have
such troubles. Exim is not multi-threaded IIRC.
Anyway, I should not persist, just trying to be helpful, and don't
want to be a pest... So no more, unless you have questions.
