Probably none. The function stream_getlen() is failing and for some
reason your OS is setting the error code to ENOENT (errcode 2). This
generally means "No such file or directory". See <errno.h> or the
introductory man page for system calls on your system. What's probably
happening is the other end of the connection has gone away and your OS
thinks ENOENT is a better error code to describe that problem than
possibly more meaningful values like ECONNRESET or ETIMEDOUT. Since
the two name servers for gary.com are on the same network -- a really
bad single point of failure -- it might be an idea to get out a LAN
sniffer or use tcpdump to see what's actually going on.

Maybe one of gary.com's servers is trying to use the many-answers AXFR
format and the other doesn't?
