Hi, I had exactly the same problem. It exists in the xemacs package bbdb-1.17
but is fixed in bbdb-1.19.
Before upgrading to 1.19 I tried out the following change on bbdb.el. It
fixed the problem, but I didn't test it extensively.

+ (setq answer (append recs (list n-rec))))
(setq recs (cdr recs))))
answer)))
(net-recs (if (stringp net) (bbdb-gethash (downcase net))
This change was made in revision 1.153 of bbdb.el in the bbdb
sourceforge project.
