Package: pdnsd
Version: 1.2.7-par-1.2
Severity: important

  Hello,

  Today, I'm hit by a bug in pdnsd: I'm retrieving a large number of
files using wget, and after a certain number, wget complains that
target host cannot be found. From this moment on, no name resolution
works, until pdnsd is restarted.

  It is quite painful, as I then need to restart my download process
from scratch (and then it fails again). I had the impression it wans't
behaving like that before, but I may be wrong.

  To reproduce, on my box, it is as simple as:

for f in {0..999}; do echo www.debian.org; done | xargs -n1 -P10 host

  Notice that there are never more than 10 processes using pdnsd at
the same time.

  Cheers,

      Vincent
