Comment:

 Interesting. This is a DEBUG message, so this error is not something that
 we would normally see. However, it may be interesting. (I think the
 particular message indicates that there was not enough data in the packet
 considering the length used for the RDATA packet.)

 We can't really display too much about the packet, since the parse failed.
 Perhaps the right thing to do is add a facility for the administrator to
 log bogus packets? (Ultimately this is exactly right for a hook, but
 perhaps we can get something sooner?)
