    Hi,

    It seems that Opera on -current ignores /etc/hosts on my system: the
    hostname I type in the address bar is resolved using the nameserver
    while there is an entry for it in /etc/hosts. Using konqueror, name
    resolution is as expected, it resolves to the local address specified
    in /etc/hosts.

    On -stable, Opera correctly resolves the hostname using /etc/hosts.

    Assuming it has something to do with the compat4x libs, I grabbed
    a tcsh binary from a -stable system and used that to ping the host
    on the local network (see below). Looks fine, it resolves to the
    local address.

    Any idea where to look further?
