BIND infoleak bug details?

Synopsis: We have a working BIND TSIG exploit that we're looking for a
little help to improve.

The NAI advisory on the BIND TSIG bug states that:

``The "infoleak" bug, discovered by Claudio Musmarra, and described in
  CERT advisory CA-2001-02, permits an attacker to remotely retrieve stack
  frames from named''

Then, according to ISC:
   http://www.isc.org/products/BIND/bind-security.html
   ``It is possible to construct a inverse query that allows the stack to
     be read remotely exposing environment variables.''

Does anyone have details of the exact specifics of this vulnerability, or
exactly what type of malformed iquery will trigger this bug? The CERT
advisory, as usual, is completely useless..
