V5R3 refuses to use Local HOST table first

Anyone seeing this (on a V5R3 system at cumulative PTF level C4272530). 
Despite the fact the system is set up (CFGTCP #12) with *LOCAL in the Host 
Name Search Priority, it is waiting for a response from a DNS server (15 
to 30 seconds) before it looks up and resolves an entry from the local 
host table.  Easily tested by making a local host table entry for an IP 
address that isn't in the DNS servers and trying to ping it - it waits 15 
to 30 seconds before resolving it.
