This upstream bug report is indeed your bug, but the corresponding patch is actually backported into 2.13-8. I am able to reproduce your problem with 2.13-7, but *not* with 2.13-8. Is there any other condition to be able to reproduce the issue? Can you try with another non-authoritative name server instead of the one provided by your wireless router? -- Aurelien Jarno GPG: 1024D/F1BCDB73 [email protected] http://www.aurel32.net -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
