Right... I use a much-hacked schema from a very early version of MyDNS, 
so perhaps mine
got mucked up along the way.

So is that bug resolved, wontfix? It seems like trusting the database 
data could lead to a DoS or possibly even a buffer overflow... tradeoff 
is increase code complexity and reduced performance. choices, choices...
