Ok, i diffed it and found the added period. I was only comparing visually
before.

It is entirely unexpected as by the statements you yourself made. You said
this:

These words mean, in bullet-point form, that you think:

- the reports i pointed out are not caused by OpenDNS or friends
- the reports are caused by a different bug
- said bug exists in 7.05
- said bug has since been fixed in source (adding a period after tld)
- said fix should result in reports like those not appearing anymore

However, i checked out your current CVS version which includes the fix and
the test failed in the exact same manner. The only logical conclusion to
this is that the reports are not caused by wildcard domains.

Do you agree? If not, why not?
