There has been bug fix release https://raw.githubusercontent.com/spamhaus/rbldnsd/master/NEWS
Our 998-r2 actually has the important bug fixes from 0.998a (compilation fix) and 0.998b (the OOM patch). I patched our Gentoo package before upstream made the release -- the actual release date is much later than what's in the NEWS file: https://github.com/spamhaus/rbldnsd/releases We even have two patches from the unreleased 0.999. So, just install 0.998-r2 and you'll be up-to-date. When 0.999 is released I'll update our ebuild to that. Sound good?
Sounds good, thanks for clarification. I would suggest to release -r3 and print comment, that -r3 has patches from author's version B + some other. It will prevent other from reporting again. I'm not sure when we could see 0.999 out, it doesnt seems to be under very active development. It may take years.

This new version doesn't offer any new features or bug fixes, since our 0.998-r2 contains the two important patches from the upstream v0.998a and v0.998b. However, this release does let us drop those patches, and brings the Gentoo version in line with the latest upstream one, preventing some confusion. In addition, EAPI=7 is now used, and the dependencies have thus been reorganized. The "rbldns" user now also has its home directory set to the default (/dev/null) rather than /var/db/rbldnsd. This change is in preparation for a GLEP 81 user package that will use the default home directory, and allows us to test the new setting for a bit before making it permanent.
