Summary: Protection for dnscache corruption

Initial Comment:
My spam filtering regularly starts failing because the dnscache is corrupted.  I don't have any idea how it gets that way, but a broken cache should never scuttle the process, so I propose the enclosed patch.

I'm trying to figure out what the patch to hammie.py has to do with
protecting against a corrupt
dnscache.  Was perhaps the wrong patch attached to this ticket?
