Cooper,

It would nicer if you can still run the master.  Helps us test the
master in general, and either ways the master has much better
performance than 1.4.x.

You can manually disable the dns parser for now by commenting out
these 2 lines -

diff --git a/src/app-layer-parser.c b/src/app-layer-parser.c
index 41a899d..361bae6 100644
