Example usage of --dns option does not work as described #6

dnslink --help prints (among others) these examples:

# Receive the dnslink entries for the dnslink.io domain.
> dnslink dnslink.dev
/ipfs/QmXNosdfz3WQUHncsYBTw7diwYzCibVhrJmEhNNaMPQBQF

and

# Receive the dnslink entries using the system DNS.
> dnslink --dns dnslink.dev
/ipfs/QmXNosdfz3WQUHncsYBTw7diwYzCibVhrJmEhNNaMPQBQF

This leads me to believe that dnslink does not use the system resolver by default (which I don't like) but specifying --dns does use the system resolver.
But executing the example dnslink --dns dnslink.dev just panics:

panic: invalid argument to Intn

goroutine 1 [running]:
math/rand.(*Rand).Intn(0x18?, 0x666a40?)
	math/rand/rand.go:180 +0x4c

Maybe not specifying the --dns option is what actually uses the system resolver and the documentation is just wrong?
