1239.   [bug]           Under certain circumstances named could continue to
                        use a name after it had been freed triggering

1229.   [bug]           named would crash if it received a TSIG signed

                        found. [RT#2532]

1222.   [bug]           Specifying 'port *' did not always result in a system

1221.   [bug]           Zone types 'master', 'slave' and 'stub' were not being
                        compared case insensitively. [RT #2542]

1218.   [bug]           Named incorrectly returned SERVFAIL rather than
