Last line of msnsocket.cpp, method MSNSocket::connect:

	m_socket->startAsyncConnect();

That explains a whole lot if it doesn't do res_init here :-)

Looking at the code it looks to me that startAsyncConnect() still calls
doLookup() internally though, but not in all cases.

Can I consider this a bug in KExtendedSocket and reassign this bug
there, or am I supposed to handle this some way in Kopete itself?
