The configuration is essentially a bare chroot without additional
configuration, the kernel is 3.8.6.  send_dg doesn't call sendmmsg because
of buf2 == NULL.

I did some debugging to find out the order of events:
- in send_dg, sendto fails with errno set to EPERM;
- __libc_res_nsend, after 4 failed send_dg calls, returns with errno set to ECONNREFUSED;
- __libc_res_nquery returns with h_errno set to TRY_AGAIN;
- __libc_res_nquerydomain returns the same;
- __libc_res_nsearch returns the same;
- _nss_dns_gethostbyname3_r returns NSS_STATUS_UNAVAIL with errno set to EAGAIN;
- _nss_dns_gethostbyname2_r returns the same;
- __gethostbyname2_r returns with h_errno set to NETDB_INTERNAL;
- gaih_inet, seeing NETDB_INTERNAL, returns -EAI_SYSTEM.
