Dear Maintainer,

This is a followup to archived bug #860225.

Although
https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2017-3139 states that
debian is not affected by CVE-2017-3139, I observed this behavior on
debian wheezy:

Feb  3 08:38:07 server named[16906]: validator.c:1858: INSIST(rdataset->type == ((dns_rdatatype_t)dns_rdatatype_dnskey)) failed, back trace

Ondrej Zary reported this on Sat, 02 Sep 2017 in bug #860225 but it
was closed and archived without answer. May I ask why?

I had a look in the relevant bug report at redhat, but they do not
provide much details https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1447743
So I'm not 100% sure it is the same bug.
