| Definitely an NSD bug (it should never respond with bad packets), even

I talked to David on IRC (freenode.net channel #dns) and advised him to:
1. Use 1.2.3 for production environment
2. Subscribe to the list if using an alpha version
3. Ask here
Anyway, I queried his server when he asked on IRC and got the bad compression
pointer myself. Seems to be something corrupt, but not running 1.4.0-alpha
myself, I've no experience with it. Here's what I got:
