Sorry, Gene's line was actually "search hosts, nameserver".
So, "ping coyote" should have triggered name resolution for "coyote.hosts"
and/or "coyote.nameserver".
It's just barely conceivable that *something* might have created a
resolvable entry for "coyote.hosts", and that some libnss-* module might
have returned a working IP address using it.
I just don't know what that *something* could be.
