[bind10-dev] MessageTooShort and SERVFAIL

On a request shorter than a DNS message header, Message::fromWire
raises the MessageTooShort exception which is translated (as it is
not a DNSProtocolError) into a SERVFAIL response. IMHO it should
be more a FORMERR (as bind 9 does)?

PS: I am working on SERVFAIL sources in the context of
draft-hunt-dns-server-diagnostics (unpublished) I-D.
