 754.	[bug]		Certain failure conditions sending UDP packets
			could cause the server to retry the transmission
			indefinitely. [RT #902]

 753.	[bug]		dig, host, and nslookup would fail to contact a
			remote server if getaddrinfo() returned an IPv6
			address on a system that doesn't support IPv6.
			[RT #917]

 750.	[bug]		A query should not match a DNAME whose trust level
			is pending.  [RT #916]

			did not properly check for a database that could
			not have a journal. [RT #865, #908]

			a crash when the server followed delegations. [RT #905]

 744.	[bug]		When returning DNS_R_CNAME or DNS_R_DNAME as the
			result of an ANY or SIG query, the resolver failed
			to setup the return event's rdatasets, causing an
			assertion failure in the query code.  [RT #881]

 743.	[bug]		Receiving a large number of certain malformed
			answers could cause named to stop responding.
			[RT #861]

 742.	[bug]		dig +domain did not work. [RT #850]

 738.	[bug]		If a non-threadsafe sdb driver supported AXFR and

 737.	[port]		stdtime.c failed to compile on certain platforms.

 648.	[port]		Add support for pre-RFC2133 IPv6 implementations.

 729.	[port]		pthread_setconcurrency() needs to be called on Solaris.

 727.	[port]		Work around OS bug where accept() succeeds but
			fails to fill in the peer address of the accepted
			connection, by treating it as an error rather than
			an assertion failure. [RT #809]

 723.	[bug]		Referrals whose NS RRs had a 0 TTL caused the resolver
			to return DNS_R_SERVFAIL. [RT #783]

 720.	[bug]		Server could enter infinite loop in
			dispatch.c:do_cancel(). [RT #733]

 719.	[bug]		Rapid reloads could trigger an assertion failure.

 717.	[bug]		Certain TKEY processing failure modes could
			reference an uninitialized variable, causing the
			server to crash. [RT #750]

 716.	[bug]		The first line of a $INCLUDE master file was lost if
			an origin was specified. [RT #744]

			inet_ntop contained an off by one error.

 706.	[bug]		Zones with an explicit "allow-update { none; };"

                        the server to crash while loading.

 692.	[bug]		Deal with systems that have getaddrinfo() but not
			gai_strerror(). [RT #679]
