UncaughtExceptions when using dns client in TCP protocol

[jackyz]

I don't have time to go deeper now. post this issues first.

domain.js:66
    throw er;
          ^
TypeError: Cannot read property '_left' of null
    at Heap._delete_swap (/Users/jackyz/Works/pobi-dev/node_modules/native-dns/node_modules/binaryheap/binaryheap.js:202:20)

    at process.startup.processNextTick.process._tickCallback (node.js:244:9)

maybe later, I will try to look into.

I'm also receiving this:

If you need a way to work around this until I can get it fixed you can disable caching with require('native-dns').platform.cache = false

[ndrut]

Cool, I'll update that for now. Usually trying again immediately after the error works. I'll keep watching for the bug fix.

Disregard what this comment was.

I'm seeing this as well on both Linux and Windows.

I tried require('native-dns').platform.cache = false but that resulted in a type error:

TypeError: Object false has no method 'Question'

using require('native-dns').platform.cache = false sets the dns object to false. The work around is to set the platform cache to false after the object has been created.
