-Summary: Hostname Resolution Broken in 1.1.17
+Summary: Symlinks cause problems with runtime field resolution
 
 Hostname resolution seems to be rather broken in 1.1.17.  Npgsql uses
 System.Net.Dns.GetHostByName to query for "localhost" and this causes the
 following error:
 
      System.Net.Sockets.SocketException: No such host is known

 The friendly names of the domains are the same in both the code that
 sets the variables and the code that reads the variables.  The name in
 the test app was: ASPHOST_3ece7180

+This problem is indeed very odd.  The good news is that I can make the
+error go away and I can reproduce it with a fairly simple test case.
+
+The error is related to symlinks in the mono path.  With symlinks, the
+application produces the name resolution error.  Without symlinks, it
+runs properly.
+
+I'll attach a simple test case that demonstrates.
