normally you won't be bitten by this, so I don't think it
necessary (unless ISC folks issue a official patch).
normally won't? this happens when one uses forwarders, right? that's
*many* ISP's in australia recommended configuration (to use the ISP's
name servers as forwarders).
this patch should *definately* be applied everywhere. it's a core dump
of named!
