SERVFAIL when looking up TXT from particular domain

There's a huge amount of DNSSEC verbiage in the response to that query
(4931-byte response from the authoritative nameservers), when querying
with +dnssec. I'm guessing the resolver function of BIND might be having
trouble with DNSSEC validation. At least, that's a hypothesis. I'm not
familiar enough with the current BIND code to confirm/deny it.

                                                               - Kevin
