Looks like a problem with the C-ARES library that Hobbit uses for
DNS lookups - the trace is identical to one I've seen before.

If you run bbtest-net with the "--no-ares" option, I'll bet that
it works OK.


This is hopefully fixed in the next C-ARES version. If you want to try
that, you can pick up the latest Hobbit snapshot - build it and you can
just copy the bbnet/bbtest-net binary on top of your current
installation.
