1469. [bug] buffer length calculation for PX was wrong.

1468. [bug] ns_name_ntol() could overwite a zero length buffer.

1466. [bug] large ENDS UDP buffer size could trigger a assertion.

1465. [bug] possible NULL pointer dereference in db_sec.c

1464. [bug] the buffer used to construct the -ve record was not
                        big enough for all possible SOA records. use pointer
                        arithmetic to calculate the remaining size in this
                        buffer.

1463. [bug] use serial space arithmetic to determine if a SIG is
                        too old, in the future or has internally constistant
                        times.

1462. [bug] write buffer overflow in make_rr().
