candidate patch

Candidate fix ensuring server_domains_cleanup() is called before every cleanup_servers() unconditionally. It is required in any case server might be removed.

Comment 6 Petr Menšík 2022-08-23 16:36:15 UTC
This is a regression caused by bug #1919894 change, which in some cases produces dangling pointer. That is not easily detected, but can cause endless loop. Previous change were incomplete for few cases of changing used servers, including just /etc/resolv.conf server changes.
