Please note that this is not a bug in bind, but a bug in the underlying
protocol.  djbdns will have this bug.  So too will the windows domain
name server.  Has a new version of djbdns been released?  Will Microsoft
be issuing a patch for Windows 2000?  Windows 2000 is past end of life
from Microsoft's point of view.
