  I believe the bug was reported to Berkeley at the same time it was posted
here.  They have not released 5.66.  With a little work you could extract the
patch from IDA sources and apply it to Berkeley sources.

  You should normally be able to use the IDA binary with a Berkeley config
without problem.  However this alone won't completely solve your problem.
The IDA version will qualify in your domain, but not in parent domains, as
it disables RES_DNSRCH.  This is done for good reasons which have from
time to time been discussed in this newsgroup, but which are probably not
adequately documented in the IDA package.  If you use the IDA config you
can use a dbm table to selectively qualify however you wish.
