Hi Chris,

I just checked it, it's not Suse specific, it just doesn't do/mean what 
you expect(ed).

But atleast we now know it's not Suse specific. :-)

You can also see that here:

http://doc.powerdns.com/changelog.html

I'm unsure about what it does mean though.

My first thought would be that it's code to split large TXT-records over 
different TXT-records.

Or just that multi TXT-records didn't work at all, a bug, as mentioned 
in the log.
