Briefly, a
perfectly valid and ordinary DDNS packet shows up as 'malformed' in
Ethereal. The trace also include the server response, which says the

malformed. Is this a known bug?

Any fixes planned?
It wasn't checking for a zero data length in an RR, and was trying to dissect the data in an RR even if there wasn't any. I've checked in a fix.
