Hi Chris,

I've merged the commit that resolves the issue
(https://github.com/NLnetLabs/nsd/pull/389). The next release will
include it. Thanks again for reporting.

Also, a statement in my previous response was incorrect.

RFC 5155 says:
Each empty non-terminal MUST have a corresponding NSEC3 RR, unless the
empty non-terminal is only derived from an insecure delegation covered
by an Opt-Out NSEC3 RR.

Best regards,
Jeroen
