The dig and host commands give incomplete results or (sometimes) give core dumps on Ubuntu 22.04. Both commands are on version "9.18.1-1ubuntu1-Ubuntu."

When I run them like this:

$ dig google.com +nssearch
$ host -C google.com

most of the times the output is incomplete (no output or only a single line) and the other times they core dump. This happens on x86_64 systems. On aarch64 systems, they output some lines and then they hang.

All systems are Ubuntu 22.04 and command versions are the same as given above. Previous versions do not exhibit this problem.

Sample run:

$ dig google.com +nssearch
$ dig google.com +nssearch
$ dig google.com +nssearch

Can you verify the same on your systems too?
