Subject: [PATCH] Fix dn_expand pointer following

---
While looking over the dn_{comp,expand} functions, I noticed that this looked
wrong in dn_expand.

http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1035.txt says that if the first two bits are 1s
(i.e., *p & 0xc0), then the remaining 14 bits specify the offset.

I haven't actually seen this manifest anywhere, and I have only tested up to
compilation.
