FWIW, we've had the patch in Fedora since Feb.  Andreas checked in a 
patch which fixed one of the two asserts in that code a while back. 
However, there were still paths where the other assert could trigger. 
Nobody's been able to trigger with a publicly available name server to 
the best of my knowledge.
