Ah! I stand corrected. Of course, that's what I get for talking out of my
hat. :)

there are really such things as multiple substrings in a TXT record
once it is sent over the wire to a requester - I believe it will be
folded to a single long string in the response (and probably in the
transfer to a secondary also).
There are multiple substrings in a single TXT record. See RFC1035.
The strings in a TXT record are a one-byte length followed by that
many bytes optionally followed by more substrings.
It appears that djbdns assumes that the length is a signed char and
therefore limits all strings to 127 bytes, while BIND assumes the
length is unsigned.
