Digging into the contents of the variable, I see that
    host = gethostbyname(nodename);
sets host to "foo.invalid" when nodename is "foo.invalid".

Hmm...

gallifrey% host foo.invalid
foo.invalid has address 208.67.217.132
Host foo.invalid not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)

gallifrey% host 208.67.217.132
132.217.67.208.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer hit-nxdomain.opendns.com.


It seems that the open DNS server used by The Doctor redirects unknown hosts
to their own site.  Thus, breaking the test suite.



As for binding to 127.0.0.1, it does not work:

gallifrey% ./nnrpd -D -b 127.0.0.1 -p 1242

-> Jan 31 12:51:17 gallifrey julien[732]: nnrpd[26638]: can't bind to any addresses

whereas the same command works does the binding on my news server.
Maybe it is a problem of configuration of the network or of the interfaces in BSD/OS?
