New Revision: 17171

   tor/trunk/src/or/config.c

   tor/trunk/src/or/eventdns.h
   tor/trunk/src/or/or.h
Log:
Implement the 0x20-hack to make DNS poisoning harder against us, especially when resolving large names.  Add a cfg option to disable it, since apparently 3/10 of a percent of servers get it wrong.
