An update to looking at unbound's code.  The log excerpt previously has
some code-paths printed out that are impossible; from the code this
output should not be possible.  That indicates trouble at compiletime;
however, there is no resolution on this.

Additionally, in unbound's svn trunk, there is a patch that unlinks A,
AAAA, and other-type timeouts.  Thus if AAAA lookups timeout, then A
lookups will still cause a query to be sent out.  (up to a small limit,
enough to catch these cases as working, but very small for the qps to
actual offline servers).

Best regards,
   Wouter
