Comment (by nickm):

 What were the older versions that worked, exactly?  Looking at the source
 code, it seems that have tried to initialize the dns subsystem when
 running as a relay for some while now.

 Generally, you can make a perfectly fine resolv.conf file by just putting
 in something like
 {{{
 Nameserver x.y.z.w
 Nameserver x.y.z.w
 }}}
 with one Nameserver line for each of your nameservers, filling in the IPv4
 address of each nameserver.

 You don't need to put it in /etc/resolv.conf, either -- you can override
 the file location with ServerDNSResolvConfFile
