This has been fixed in one of the patches available on our ftp server.

It looks like your local libresolv.a is broken. Scotty uses inet_addr
and the error output above shows that the reference to inet_aton comes
from res_init.o in your local libresolv.a. Please ask one of your
programmers to fix your local resolver library.
