Upgrading from 8.2.2p7 to 8.2.3 database errors

[Mark.Andrews at nominum.com]

	"(" is used to say that the record continues over multiple lines.
	8.2.2-P7 has a bug that allow syntactically invalid SOA records
	to be recognised.

	Put the "(" on the first line of the record.

	e.g.
	@	SOA	origin mailbox (
			1
			3600
			1200
			360000
			3600 )
