common/t-dns-cert takes a very long time when DNS resolver doesn't answer on TCP

Testing with gnupg 2.1.1 from git:

common/t-dns-cert takes a very long time to complete, and it appears to
be hanging for a few minutes when trying to connect to my local DNS
resolver with a TCP connection, after getting a UDP response from the
local resolver.

the only output is:

CERT lookup on 'simon.josefsson.org'

i'm not using adns, fwiw.  (should i be?  is adns a recommended configuration
choice for gnupg?)

Is anyone else seeing this delay in common/t-dns-cert?
