        --- 8.3.4-REL released --- (Thu Nov 14 05:45:26 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().
