f.root-servers.net is FTP'ing its COM zone even as we speak.  AXFR to
a.root-servers.net is giving wierd results.  i'll be fetching the zone
manually until we find the smoking gun.

btw, i've taken F offline while the FTP happens.  though the response
f.root-servers.net was sending back (an upward delegation) was just a
"lame server" and would not have caused errors, whereas the error that
f.gtld-servers.net was sending this morning would have caused false
negatives (bounced mail, etc).
