[Unbound-users] unbound-control flush*

[W.C.A. Wijngaards]

Hi Michael,

The reason it prints the flushed items again
is because it does not actually spend time to free()
the items, it simply marks them as unusable.
The second time it marked those items unusable again.

I am sorry, the argument is not optional.  I'll see
about making the help fixed for that.

Best regards,
    Wouter
