It's not a dig-ism. If it was, it would also show up in the dig 
performed on the named server, right?


also, dnsq response, for the tinydns server is

$ dnsq txt hp_4050._ipp._tcp.dev.hmonteiro.net 192.168.56.102
16 hp_4050._ipp._tcp.dev.hmonteiro.net:
252 bytes, 1+1+2+2 records, response, authoritative, noerror

in contrast, the bind server queried with dnsq replies

$ dnsq txt xerox_phaser_6130n._ipp._tcp.dev.hmonteiro.net 192.168.56.103

i'm also finding the bind response weird .. \007 ?  \026 ?  \025 ? (but 
IT WORKS)

Can someone shed some light on this?
