Thanks, adding a systemd task to this bug for libnss-resolve.

It may be that this bug is only reproducible in 17.04 because that was the only release in which libnss-resolve was installed by default. (We dropped this package from ubuntu-standard in 17.10.)

This also may not be fixable on the systemd side, since the failure happens with a static binary calling into an NSS module that calls into pthreads.

And it may not be fixable in busybox without substantial rework of the 'nslookup' applet, which appears to only front onto the glibc resolver apis instead of actually talking to the specified nameserver... which is what nslookup is defined to do.
