Description

Create a DNSStager with ~3000 records using IPV6, but when run the downloader gets to around 500 records and then stops working. Tried with Golang client and TXT records and gets to around 300 before running out of memory.

Research direction

Reproduce the failure by creating a DNSStager payload with about 3000 IPv6 records, then compare the downloader's behavior with TXT records and the Golang client. Trace where processing stops or memory is exhausted; done means the downloader can complete the large payload without failing.
