How is this breaking RFC-952?
Its not. There is a bug. Under RFC-952, the restrictions deal with 'label'
length, 1-63 characters and that the first and last character can't be a
hyphen('-')
If the error message is accurate, its barfing because the code check isn't case
insensitive.
Or were you talking about something else?
