was playing around with the source today and eventually the obvious answer hit
me ... while read_etc_hosts_r() generatings an array of strings fo h_aliases
and populates it, the dns path does not :)

find attached a patch that'll actually generate the h_aliases list in the
normal dns code path ... i used the etc_hosts_r() code as a template for some
of it ...

note that this is just a simple fix ... it fills the alias list with just the
hostname gethostbyname_r was passed ... the proper fix i think would be to
parse the dns packet down in __dns_lookup() and pass the info back via the
resolv_answer struct ...
but this fix is better than the current state of things ... that is, h_aliases
currently is never initailized in the dns code path :)
