There is a bug in all current PowerDNS recursor versions where it neglects
to erradicate the contents of the hints file from its cache.

This means that both the old and the new IP address of l.root-servers.net
will continue to be used, until the hints file expires from the cache, which
is sadly only after 40 days of uptime.

I apologise for this bug, and promise that a fixed PowerDNS recursor will be
released swiftly.

However, I don't think 40% of the world is running the PowerDNS Recursor, so
there must be something else to blame, as well.
