RR syntax problem

Hi,
After doing a zone transfer ('dig @131.111.8.42 cam.ac.uk axfr')
from a nearby DNS master, I get a few RR's with adjacent '-.' chars
like:
admin-server-.path.cam.ac.uk. 86400 IN A 131.111.28.159
------------^^
When I feed RR's like this back into named, it complains:
Feb 16 11:24:22 alf1 named[60799]: db.cam:30309: admin-server-.path.cam.ac.uk: bad owner name (check-names)
I'm using bind-9.3.0rc4. Is the '-.' syntax wrong, or is this a bug?
Is there any way I can retrieve zone-data without it
being expanded by dig? i.e. maintain the $ORIGIN lines
and thus shrink the transfer size?
Cheers,
Terry.
