Hello Knot developers,
I'm trying out Knot 1.3.0 final, and testing the new options for
system.identity, system.version and system.nsid.
At first, I did this:
system {
identity yes;
version yes;
nsid yes;
}
The alert ones will note that I didn't use "on", but accidentally used
"yes", so Knot parsed them all as strings, and gave me unexpected but
correct results.

Note that the NSID value is also "yes".
So I realised my mistake, and changes the values from "yes" to "on",
and
HUPped the server. Now I get:

Note the warnings from dig about the extra bytes at the end. It seems
that if you change the value of NSID and reconfigure the server, it does
not appear to pick up the new value correctly. Stopping Knot completely
and starting it fixes it, but there appears to be a bug during
reconfiguration.
