problems with 8.2.2P5 and CNAMEs

Hi everybody!
I've installed bind 8.2.2 P5 on solaris 7/x86 box. My /etc/named.conf looks like this:
  options {
        directory "/etc/named/";
        multiple-cnames yes;
        forward first ;
        forwarders {
                194.204.152.34;
                148.81.16.51;
        };
  };

  zone "0.0.127.in-addr.arpa" in {
        type master;
        file "db.127.0.0";
  };

  zone "gazeta.pl" in {
        type master;
        file "db.gazeta.pl";
  };

  zone "gazeta.com.pl" in {
        type master;
        file "db.gazeta.com.pl";
  };
  [..]

and in files:
db.gazeta.pl:
  $TTL    1D
  @               86400   SOA     hera.gazeta.pl. mlopaci.gazeta.pl. (
                1999111413 10800 3600 604800 86400 )
                IN      NS      hera.gazeta.pl.
                IN      NS      artemida.krak.gazeta.pl.
                IN      MX      10  atena.gazeta.pl.

  $ORIGIN gazeta.pl.
  http        A       193.42.228.7
  www         CNAME    http.gazeta.pl.
  [..]

db.gazeta.com.pl:
  $ORIGIN com.pl.
  gazeta        IN      SOA     hera.gazeta.pl. mlopaci.gazeta.pl. (
                1999111401 10800 3600 604800 86400 )
                IN      NS      hera.gazeta.pl.
                IN      NS      artemida.krak.gazeta.pl.
                IN      MX      10 atena.gazeta.pl.
  $ORIGIN gazeta.com.pl.
  www             MX      10      atena.gazeta.pl.
                IN      CNAME   http.gazeta.pl.


and after starting named I get such errors:

hera named[16783]: Zone "gazeta.com.pl" (file db.gazeta.com.pl): No default TTL set using SOA
minimum instead
hera named[16783]: db.gazeta.com.pl:8:www.gazeta.com.pl: CNAME and OTHER data error
hera named[16783]: master zone "gazeta.com.pl" (IN) rejected due to errors (serial 1999111401)
hera named[16783]: db.gazeta.pl:9:www.gazeta.pl: CNAME and OTHER data error
hera named[16783]: master zone "gazeta.pl" (IN) rejected due to errors (serial 1999111413)

so my nameserver rejects serving my domains because of CNAMEs in db* file. When I've changed CNAME
record to A one everything seems to work properly. But it's more convenient to me to have CNAME
records.

Where is the mistake?

P.S. I didn't noticed any problems with version 8.1.x - it started after upgrading to 8.2.2 P3 and
later to 8.2.2 P5
