[Bug nscd/11928] New: nscd does not account for 'multi on' in /etc/host.conf when ai-resolving hosts

["pasky at suse dot cz" <sourceware-bugzilla at sourceware dot org>]

When nscd is handling getaddrinfo() resolution requests, it fails to properly
initialize its resolver options state and ignores /etc/host.conf. An easy way to
reproduce this is by putting 'multi on' in /etc/host.conf and

cat >>/etc/host.conf <<EOT
1.2.3.4 test
1.2.3.5 test
EOT

Then, with nscd stopped:
$ getent ahosts test
1.2.3.4         STREAM test
1.2.3.4         DGRAM  
1.2.3.4         RAW    
1.2.3.5         STREAM 
1.2.3.5         DGRAM  
1.2.3.5         RAW    

However, with nscd running:
$ getent ahosts test
1.2.3.4         STREAM test
1.2.3.4         DGRAM  
1.2.3.4         RAW
