Well, a short look in the code shows that _srv_rr is a static function,
so that doesn't contradict my theory. My version of jabberd-2.0s11 was
compiled with "-O2 -march=pentium4 -pipe".

Maybe somebody whose version works could try to compile resolver again
with the above flags and look if it's still working? For the other way
round, you could try to find out your CFLAGS and post them..
