State-Changed-Why: 
Not a bug, a feature.  If you don't like this feature, complain
to Paul Vixie but don't expect much sympathy.  he's been threatening
for years to make RFC name compliance mandatory rather than optional
in BIND, and now that he's finally done it, sites with illegal
names (like this one) have to clean up their act or get off the Internet,
basically.
