resolv.rb on 1.6.7

I'm not sure if this is a ruby-core issue or not, so I'll keep it brief.

There were a number of problems with the resolv.rb distributed with
1.6.7

- it doesn't close down file descriptors, so long-running mod_ruby
  processes fail (thread 38525 on the ml)

- it doesn't untaint data from /etc/... files

I believe both of these are fixed in 1.7. Would it be possible to
backport this resolv.rb to 1.6.7?


Cheers


Dave
