host from BIND 9.4.1-P1 is confused by multiple search options in /etc/resolv.conf

[Joseph S]

The host command appears to only want to use the last search option in 
/etc/resolv.conf.

On a rehdat machine:

[jks at c1 ~]$ cat /etc/resolv.conf

search selectacast.net
search xtenit.com
#
nameserver 199.107.233.222

[jks at c1 ~]$ /usr/local/bin/host -v p8
Trying "p8.xtenit.com"
Trying "p8"
Host p8 not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)
