--- Comment #2 from Mark Martinec <[email protected]> ---
I see, a bug/misfeature in Net::DNS : we give a properly "RFC 1035 zone
format" -encoded string of bytes (no utf-8 flag) to Net::DNS::Packet->new,
and it gratuitously flags it with an utf-8 flag in the packet->question
section, without checking that the given string of octets really
represents an UTF-8 encoded string, and without any reason to do so,
as DNS is 8-bit clean and works with octet strings / has no notion of
character sets and encodings.

When we later pull that packet->question string back and start processing
it, it blows in our face, as it is flagged as a proper character string,
but it isn't.
