If this is due to a buggy behavior of a particular server
implementation, we should ask the vendor to fix it. If it has already
been fixed, we should ask the administrator (bbc.co.uk in this case)
to upgrade the server. And, if this is (unfortunately) common to some
extent, we'll have to add some workaround in resolver libraries.
So, I'd like to know the precise status of this issue.
