Hi Martin,

Here as per discussion on monday meeting, I removed from the patch
everything unrelated to the workaround itself and added a separate test
that runs a standard dnssec-enabled zone and queries it without
restarting of named. The test is marked as xfail with strict=True, which
means, once the bug is fixed it will start to unexpectedly pass causing
the whole testrun to fail, so we will know precisely when to revert this
change. This test is (apart from restarting named) an exact copy of the
existing one, so it would be safe to remove it.

Patch 0038 was rebased.
