        Is this a linux box dig is running on?  Some linux kernels
        have the worst possible UDP port selection algorithms.  They
        keep selecting the port that was last selected provided it
        is closed before you get the next port selection request.
        On a box with several short lived UDP sockets you will
        almost certainly get reply traffic destined to the last
        user of the port.

        This is what is happening here, dig seeing replies to
        whatever was using the port immediately before dig was run.
