Please direct this request to BIND upstream (http://www.isc.org/index.pl?/sw/bind/)
Comment 2 Martin Hamant 2007-02-07 08:16:24 UTC 
Sorry, i forgot to mention that bug doesn't happen on my ubuntu (9.3.2)...
I can direct this to BIND upstream but they wont fix code for 9.2.4 !
Comment 3 Martin Stransky 2007-02-07 12:02:09 UTC 
I see. Okay, I'll check it.

very simple patch

Yes, this "bug" really exists. I think upstream doesn't want patch it because
patch is really simple
