It might be useful to try running dig under a debugger (gdb or
whatever), and maybe setting some trace points on any lines of source
code that check or modify the ndots parameter. But I'm not a
programmer, and that's a bit beyond my ability to do -- at least,
beyond my ability to do quickly.
If you give this a try, please let us know how things turn out.
