I still object to this whole line of thought. How can you be sure that the error is not caused by our hacking BIND into freebsd? There are so many modifications that are made to the resolver for example that passing this off to the BIND people is not a legitimate strategy without even a cursory examination. "We don't want to deal with this PR so we're making it go away" isn't a good model IMO. > The host program is part of the BIND software, and is maintained by > Paul Vixie et al.
