Hi Chris,

Thanks for the heads up.  This does not affect the 1.4.20 release, as
this code is newer.

I suspect two changes of causing it (I am supposedly on holiday, so
I'll make it short).  The first is a binary API version change in
libunbound; this should likely not affect you, but if your install is
not 'clean', it could be that you now have two libunbound.so.x
versions, and if you compile with --export-all-symbols then this could
cause segfaults in the unbound daemon if it picks the wrong library
out of your libdir.

The other is a codechange, to do with private-address functionality;
are you using private-address?  This is the only real codechange in
this timeframe, and touches on a lot of pointers...  I thought it was
fine, but then you always do until you find the bug :-)

That would be this patch that then causes the issue:
svn diff http://unbound.net/svn/trunk/iterator -r2867:2868 > file
this code does fire even if you do not have private-addresses
configured, but it does not seem to fail in unit tests.
patch -r reverses the patch if you want to try that.

Best regards,
   Wouter
