I might also add that bind is much less than informative when you have a
TXT record which spans more than 256 bytes in one set of ""'s. Something
to the effect of "out of memory" or something similarly unhelpful.  :/

And djbdns silently splits larger text strings into substrings of at
most 127 (not 255) characters.  GoDaddy's "Total DNS Control" silently
truncates all TXT records to 128 bytes.  I dunno what other weird
things are out there, but I'm sure there are a bunch.
