I couldn't find anything in the RFC (1035) that says that TCP
recursive queries should be handled this way, and based on this old
post:

http://mailman.powerdns.com/pipermail/pdns-users/2005-November/002835.html

I'd say it has been a bug for over a year, can anyone confirm this? As
a side note BIND does not exhibit this behavior.
