* The _res_opcodes variable has been removed from libresolv. It had been
exported by accident.
+* The glibc DNS stub resolver now supports an arbitary number of search
+ domains (configured using the “search” directive in /etc/resolv.conf).

+ objects (which contain the resolver state, including the search list
+ array, which is limited to six entries) will only use the first six search
+ domains, as before.
