libc6: RES_ROTATE resolver option broken (bug 593571)

[Nicolas DEFFAYET <nicolas@deffayet.com>]

Hello,

I don't know if you plan to release new packages of libc6 for the next
stable update (i don't see any libc6 packages in
http://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/stable-proposed-updates/).

If you release new packages of libc6 for next stable update 6.0.4 (or
6.0.5), can you please add the patch
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?msg=10;filename=fix-rotate.patch;att=1;bug=593571 for fix the bug 593571 (thanks to Jan Boysen).

This patch is very simple and it add only one missing character:
-						&statp->nsaddr_list[n],
+						&statp->nsaddr_list[ns],


Bug 593571 is a very annoying because the rotate option in resolv.conf
can't be used on servers running Debian stable. rotate option main goal
is to provide load balancing between name-servers and allow a faster
resolution in case of outage on a name server.


Many thanks

Best Regards,
