Problems with 8.2.2-P5 on Solaris 7

[Knut Borge]

Hi. I'm trying to get 8.2.2-P5 compiled with Suns unbundled compiler
to run on an Ultra-5 running Solaris 7 with all the latest recommended
patches installed. 

When it gets started at system bootup time it logs these messages:

etc. I have tried to do ndc exec, ndc restart, and kill -9, but the same
type of messages appear again. After quite a few attempts, bind starts
up normally:

Yes, the directories do exist and did not get created in the meantime.
I have tried to look at past postings to comp.protocols.dns.bind and
comp.unix.solaris but didn't find anything resembling this.

Any help will be most appreciated!
