|   One of our DNS servers recently encountered some strange problem.
...
|   Here is the related info:
|   * OS: HP-UX 9.03
|   * BIND/named: 8.2.1
|   Jul 27 09:42:02 ns named[25282]: ns_req: sendto([168.95.1.2].53): No buffer space available

There is a known bug in the HP-UX version of 8.2.1. Please insert the
following single line in src/port/hpux9/include/port_after.h:

#define __BIND_RES_TEXT

(For the curious among you: 8.2.1-REL gets the wrong version of _res,
namely the one from HP-UX libc. The above line ensures that the correct
_res, from BIND 8.2.1-REL itself, is used.)
