zone generator

Description of problem:
BIND9 test suite contains a script for generating zone files. Zones from this script are valid (BIND is able to load and serve them correctly), but python-dns blows up.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
python-dns-1.10.0-1.fc17.noarch

How reproducible:
100 %


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Generate a zone with attached script (script came from BIND 9 test suite):
$ genzone.sh 2 3 4 > master2.db

2. Try to load the zone with following Python snippet:
import dns.zone
dns.zone.from_file('master2.db', origin='master2.')

  
Actual results:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "test.py", line 2, in <module>
    dns.zone.from_file('master2.db', origin='master2.')
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/dns/zone.py", line 814, in from_file
    filename, allow_include, check_origin)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/dns/zone.py", line 761, in from_text
    reader.read()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/dns/zone.py", line 715, in read
    raise dns.exception.SyntaxError("%s:%d: %s" % (filename, line_number, detail))
dns.exception.SyntaxError: master2.db:41: generic rdata does not start with \#


Expected results:
Zone is parsed correctly.

Additional info:
line 41 from generated zone:
mb02                    MG      .
