This means the provided test is incorrect. We need a test which works in a 
real world scenario and also with resolv_wrapper to verify that resolv_wrapper 
is doing everything correctly.

Could you use the current test, modify it and make sure it works in the real 
world?

Then we can fix resolve_wrapper ...


Thanks,
