Found the bug (was: ERROR: Failed to create fetch for DNSKEY update)

[Sten Carlsen]

As far as I am aware - and what I have always done - the normal thing to do is to use a hints file. Lately the hints are built-in, so nothing is really needed.

One question that comes to mind:
What happens if the slaved root zones are not up to date /not correct? might that be the cause?
