This is one of the reasons a lot of Deadwood's tests use Deadwood.  The
other is IPv6.

I thought I fixed this bug a while ago:

Let me know if there are still problems

This is not a good thing.  Time to generate a stack trace.  To do this:

* Compile zoneserver with the '-g' flag set (change the appropriate flag in
zoneserver/Makefile ; with many programs "export FLAGS=-g ; make" does the
trick but I don't remember off the top of my head if that works with
MaraDNS)

* To run "zoneserver foo bar baz" in "gdb", type in "gdb zoneserver", follow
by "set args foo bar baz", followed by "run"

As I recall, I had to do a bunch of stuff to fix TCP recently in the 2.0
branch of MaraDNS.  Check it out:

Dates are in YYYYMMDD format; 20110712 means "July 12, 2011", *not*
"November 7, 2011"

There actually is an "askmara-tcp" that I use for some of the testing.

Thanks a lot for looking at MaraDNS.  I will next work on the code this
Friday; my first order of business is fixing a bug in Deadwood with
resolving answers.yahoo.com:
