I have cpulimit(1) watching dnsmasq now, so it only goes berserk for a second before being killed, but the attached syslog extract captures the moments before and during the DNS storm. These particular lookups are mostly originated by Transmission, but previously the storms have happened when there were no Transmission processes running, with queries from Firefox or perhaps some unidentified Gnome weather applet.
