squid-2.3.STABLE1 not honoring dns_defnames?

Hello everyone.
I'm having a problem with 2.3-STABLE1 (as shipped on RedHat Linux)
apparently not honoring the dns_defnames directive (it doesn't resolve
hostnames without any dots)

Some snippets of the relevant configuration parts:
squid is using an internal resolver (no forked dns-lookup children)

From squid.conf:
dns_defnames on
#dns_nameservers none

Other relevant settings are left to their default values

/etc/resolv.conf
domain gruppocredit.it
nameserver 10.254.17.35
#other nameservers skipped ...

It is not a problem with the global resolver routines, as
nslookup correctly resolves local hostnames.
Any hints?
        Thanks.
