I am not able to reproduce this either with networking disabled (i.e.
no nameservers defined, interfaces down, etc.) or with an invalid
nameserver (an active host that does not have anything listening on 53
udp or tcp).  In both cases I get EAI_NONAME with 2.15 as well as
2.17.  Can you provide steps to reproduce?

Thanks,
Siddhesh
