Matthijs Mekking 4c22fa0d56 Reproducer forwarder resend loop
Run malicious server: resend_loop/ans2/ans.py

Start BIND: ns1

Send single query to test.com

OBSERVED BEHAVIOR
The malicious server receives tens of thousands of resend packets
within seconds. CPU usage of the named worker thread remains elevated
(50–100% of one core) until the default fetch timeout (~10 seconds)
terminates the request. Instrumentation during testing confirmed that
isc_counter_used(fctx->qc) remains constant (value 1) throughout the
entire resend loop.
