DNS broken in 5.21

First post!

I just installed the 64-Bit nmap 5.21 on my Fedora 12 machine and
noticed that it seems to have DNS issues:

# nmap www.google.com

Starting Nmap 5.21 ( http://nmap.org ) at 2010-01-27 22:58 CET
Failed to resolve given hostname/IP: www.google.com.  Note that you
can't use '/mask' AND '1-4,7,100-' style IP ranges
WARNING: No targets were specified, so 0 hosts scanned.
Nmap done: 0 IP addresses (0 hosts up) scanned in 0.03 seconds

I get the same error message for hostnames that are in /etc/hosts, the
system hostname and even "localhost", so I can only conclude that DNS is
totally broken.

IP's work, and a 32-bit Fedora 9 machine works, so I guess its limited
to either Fedora 12 or 64-bit.

I've disabled IPv6 and have no IPv6 entries in my /etc/hosts or
/etc/resolv.conf and I've only got one network interface.

I tried the -R and --dns-servers options and it made no difference.

What's the preferred version to roll back to - 5.00?
