tabulator escaping

Hi, 

i think I've found a bug in latest pdns from git. 

I use pdns as a slave to a bind9 server. I have several zones with txt records, which contain among other characters some tabulators. When pdns writes the zone on disc, all the tabs are replaced with string "\009". I believe this should not happen.

I've tracked the problem to pdns/dnsparser.cc in function static string txtEscape(const string &name) where the escaping happens.

I've solved it for my self this way:

diff --git a/pdns/dnsparser.cc b/pdns/dnsparser.cc
index b0030fd..a81182d 100644
--- a/pdns/dnsparser.cc
+++ b/pdns/dnsparser.cc

       snprintf(ebuf, sizeof(ebuf), "\\%03u", (unsigned char)*i);
       ret += ebuf;
     }
