Does this uridnsbl debug output indicate problems?

SA seems unusually slow today and I'm trying to figure out if I've  
done something to my configuration that is causing the problem or if  
it is just slow rbl lookups or something.

I ran spamassassin with -t and -D and this output looks like it may  
be problematic, but I'm not sure what to look into.

The 21 second multi.surbl.org lookup seems pretty long and then what  
are the following repeated messages about...

DNS lookups using other utilities seem reasonably fast, but I'm  
wondering if SA is flooding the DNS server with more simultaneous  
requests than it can handle or something.

That is the same thing I observed here after adding that plugin. I
am not sure if it is in the dnsbl code or the way ClamAV-plugin
uses the dnsbl code. Regardless it would be nifty were it to be
fixed.

Yes, in fact and that is part of it.   But, in the process of  
investigating, I do think I found a bug (or at least an "issue") in  
the uridnsbl code.

There is a check inside an inner loop there to see if any progress  
has been made reading the results of lookups and if nothing changes  
for 20 iterations, it aborts.  Less than a second passes during those  
20 iterations and I found that those lookups completed normally  
within another second or two if I simply increased that count.   
Details are in the bug report I submitted (search for URIDNSBL).
