good day bind users.

i've a question concerning a nice script called bstat (in the contrib
section
of the ISC distribution)

it gives me the following message when executed:

Number found where operator expected at (eval 21) line 1, near ")0"
        (Missing operator before 0?)



any suggestions?



tnx.

Subject: Problem w/ 8.2.1 ( was: possible problem w/ 8.2.1)


Let's try this again.  Barry was helping me but I don't know if he's given
up on me or is working on a solution.

Here's the relevant facts:

OS version HPUX 10.20
Bind version 8.2.1

/etc/resolv.conf has a "search" directive of "il.nb.com nb.com"

Looking up a host in "nc.nb.com"

nslookup of "host.nc" returns a "Server failed" message
nslookup of "host.nc.nb.com" returns the correct information.
nslookup -d2 of "host.nc" shows an attempt to find the host as
"host.nc.il.nb.com", but that's where it ends.
dig @dns1 host.nc.il.nb.com returns:


; <<>> DiG 8.2 <<>> @dns1 host.nc.il.nb.com
; (1 server found)
;; res options: init recurs defnam dnsrch
;; got answer:
;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: SERVFAIL, id: 6
;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 0, AUTHORITY: 0, ADDITIONAL: 0
;; QUERY SECTION:

;; FROM: dns1 to SERVER: dns1 10.216.34.4
;; WHEN: Tue Jun 29 11:12:07 1999
;; MSG SIZE sent: 42 rcvd: 42



After reinstalling Bind version 8.1.2, the same lookup results in:

nslookup of "host.nc" returns the correct information.
nslookup of "host.nc.nb.com" returns the correct information.
nslookup -d2 of "host.nc" shows an attempt to find the host as
"host.nc.il.nb.com", and then as "host.nc.nb.com" which then returns the
correct info.
dig @dns1 host.nc.il.nb.com returns:

Dig v 8.2 gives the same results as the above dig w/ v8.1 against the v
8.1.2 nameserver ( so it's not dig that's the problem ).
Has anybody had a chance to look at this or been able to duplicate it?
