Hi,

sorry for the late reply. I don‘t have everyday internet connection at the 
moment.

dns-root-data had an update a week before. the file with the dns root keys was 
updated. at least the format has changed. now there a dns time to live values 
in front of the keys. dnsmasq tries to parse these lines an puts the ttl value 
into the command line of dnsmasq which then fails to start.

and yes I consider a failing dnsmasq which is often used as a dns forwarder for 
whole networks as a critical problem.
