Added files:
dns/bind9/files patch-lib_dns_resolver.c
Log:
This issue was researched by glebius, and this patch was
incorporated by ISC into the next version of BIND.
The patch addresses a problem with high-load resolvers which
hit memory barriers. Without this patch, running the resolving
name server out of memory would lead to "unpredictable results."
Of course, the canonical answer to this problem is to put more
memory into the system, however that is not always possible, and
the code should be able to handle this situation gracefully in
any case.
