wicd-* freezes/crashes if immutable bit set for /etc/resolv.conf

[Shade]

Found that if I set the immutable bit on /etc/resolv.conf that wicd really doesn't like it. Behavior is odd. For example, when I start wicd-curses I can attempt to connect to a wireless ap, but it will hang at "Obtaining ip address..." even though actually I can use the interface. What happens, it seems (?), is that wicd is cycle reconnecting. However, if I try to end the connection C^D/D/Q, then wicd-curses crashes:

DBus failure! This is most likely caused by the wicd daemon stopping while wicd-curses is running. Please restart the daemon, and then restart wicd-curses.

In the GUI, it doesn't crash precisely, just hangs and ultimately becomes unresponsive. You cannot disconnect or reconnect, it just hangs at "Connecting..." or "Obtaining ip address...".

Setting the immutable bit on /etc/resolv.conf was a really, really rough way to set my nameservers to what I wanted, so I don't think this is that big of a deal. But maybe some sort of check and output. I examined the logs, and there doesn't seem to be anything amiss in them when this freezing/crashing happens. This is the log:
