Okay, this means that there is some chance that your list includes
resolvers that use an interval of 1024 different source ports.  I
wouldn't consider them vulnerable (and in many cases, their operators
have actually applied a vendor patch and are probably confused why
they receive a notification that says something else).

Anyway, thanks for the effort.  I just wanted to share this caveat.
