TC Header Bit Question

RFC 2181, section 9, indicates that name servers should not set the TC bit gratuitously; as long as the answer section is complete, TC should not be set just because the authority and/or additional sections won't also fit in the UDP packet. Using BIND (9.4.3-P3 and 9.7.2-P3) as a resolver doesn't

+trace does not do what you think it does. It does not query the target name server for each successive query. Rather, it causes the 'dig' command to perform recursion on its own, only using the indicated server (@server) to seed its root server list. +trace also stops at the CNAME, and does not
