As truncating and especially fallback on TCP is no fun, I've decided to
implement the "don't truncate for additional records behaviour". A one line
patch:

Thanks for reporting this!

I do note that bind crams in 2 more records in the same answer, which is
impressive. To make PowerDNS follow that behaviour would require a lot of
work, for uncertain benefit, so I'm not making that effort now.

Build 616 will appear on http://svn.powerdns.com/snapshots/616 shortly (few
minutes after this post) if you want to verify the fix, which I would
appreciate.

Thanks!
