It's because it now uses bind on the loopback in caching mode to workaround
some glibc resolving limitations. See the last %changelog entry from the
package, it explains it. Not sure why _excatly_ that change was made,
especially since I had a resolving problem _after_ the update, which I
never had before, although I suspend and resume between various different
networks...
