Makes sense.

I'm not too worried about it, at least not yet.  There's a good chance my 
problem was a one-time thing, a combination of a testing version dhcpcd, 
testing baselayout 2, perhaps the new glibc 2.8, and throw in a couple 
recent lockups due to X issues after an upgrade that needed a different 
config.  Put them together, particularly with the lockups and resulting 
unclean reboots, and there's at least a half-dozen different 
possibilities.  As mentioned, I already knew it wasn't directly related.  

I simply threw it in as an odd occurrence, in the hope that it might 
"click" with something else, giving you the solution.  Evidently, it 
really /was/ unrelated, but you read something about IDN and /that/ 
"clicked" for you.  FWIW, I'd have never considered IDN either, but that 
may well be because I'm pretty much en_US-only.  So I'm glad you found 
that IDN stuff and it /did/ click for you, because that would have 
otherwise seemed just as unrelated to me as the resolv.conf overwrite did.

So yes, definitely thanks for posting that resolution.  I'd have had not 
the foggiest idea of looking /there/!  Now I do, next time it comes up 
for me or someone on a group I'm on. =8^)
