	I say, "Never let reality get in the way of a good story ..."
	except people actually believed this load of rubbish.

	Well rdata->length is (unsigned int) as is tr.length.

1.1          (halley   16-Dec-98): struct dns_rdata {
1.4          (halley   13-Jan-99):      unsigned char *                 data;
1.4          (halley   13-Jan-99):      unsigned int                    length;
1.19         (halley   02-Aug-99):      dns_rdataclass_t                rdclass;
1.4          (halley   13-Jan-99):      dns_rdatatype_t                 type;
1.42         (marka    19-Oct-00):      unsigned int                    flags;
1.4          (halley   13-Jan-99):      ISC_LINK(dns_rdata_t)           link;
1.4          (halley   13-Jan-99): };

	and as it was in version 1.1

/*
 * Clients are strongly discouraged from using this type directly.
 */
struct dns_rdata {
        unsigned char *data;
        unsigned int length;
        dns_rdataclass_t class;
        dns_rdatatype_t type;
        /*
         * XXX should rdata be linkable (i.e. as in <isc/list.h>) to make
         * rdata lists easy?
         */
};

	Mark

	P.S.  If he had actually reported it to us (ISC) it would
	have reached my mailbox by one path or another as we don't
	let reports of security vulnerabilities go unexamined.

	Yes. I am the lead Engineer on BIND 9.
