        --- 8.2.7-REL released --- (Fri Nov 15 00:55:19 PST 2002)

1469.   [bug]           buffer length calculation for PX was wrong.

1468.   [bug]           ns_name_ntol() could overwite a zero length buffer.

1466.   [bug]           large ENDS UDP buffer size could trigger a assertion.

1465.   [bug]           possible NULL pointer dereference in db_sec.c

1464.   [bug]           the buffer used to construct the -ve record was not
                        big enough for all possible SOA records.  use pointer
                        arithmetic to calculate the remaining size in this
                        buffer.

1463.   [bug]           use serial space arithmetic to determine if a SIG is
                        too old, in the future or has internally constistant
                        times.

1462.   [bug]           write buffer overflow in make_rr().

1345.   [port]          64k answer buffers were causing stack space to be
                        exceeded for certian OS.  Use heap space instead.

1300.   [bug]           read buffer overflows.
