[Bug 1317444] [NEW] dnsmasq spins at 100% cpu trying to receive socket messages via stdin

[James Hunt]

Public bug reported:

dnsmasq is spinning at 100% CPU. This also causes networking to fail.
Problem seems to be that it is calling recvmsg(STDIN_FILENO, ...) which
is totally invalid. See attached strace log.
