If you look further down the thread, you'll see that Kirk Bradel had
claimed to have "duplicated the [...] results" on a Wintel platform. I
was responding partly to the original poster and partly to Kirk. It's
possible that this bug/quirk has no platform dependencies at all, but I
always try to disclaim anything and everything that I say that has to do
with BIND on Wintel, since I have zero experience in that regard...
