It now looks as if chromium's DNS cache may not be the problem. Chromium
must be getting slashdot's IP address from somewhere else -- somewhere
that firefox and ping don't access.

After navigating there from chromium and pressing the button, slashdot.org
doesn't appear in the listing of the cache entries on that page.
But the misbehaviour still persists, even after a reboot.
And firefox and chrome and ping still reach the right site.
And when I go to chrome://net-internals/#dns on chrome itself, it tells
mem it *does* have slashdot.org in its cache, with the right IP number.
The cache chromium reveals with chrome://net-internals/#dns clearly has
different contents from the one that chrome reveals -- which confirms
that they have different caches.
And even after browsing to slashdot.org in chromium and getting to the
wrong place, going to chrome://net-internals/#dns with chromium still
indicates that slashdot.org is not in the cache.
So I'm suspecting that chrome://net-internals/#dns may not reeveal the
real cache in chromium.
So where *is* chromium getting this misinformation?
Just for reference, here's my /etc/resolv.conf file:
# Generated by NetworkManager
domain topoi.pooq.com
search topoi.pooq.com
nameserver 8.8.8.8
nameserver 8.8.4.4
