  OK.  I checked the patch, and recoded it to use
D_DNS_THREADED,
D_DNS*, and the same "./configure
--disable-threaded-dns".

  Commited and in CVS now.

  Please test it.

  I'll  make a 0.8.6rc1 after receiving your feedback with
a view
to  a  next  release (its been a long time, and the CVS is
stable
enough).

  Note: I'm keeping 0.8.6pre in sync with the FLTK2-based
tree.
