Bind hangs

[Kevin Darcy]

Since your server doesn't seem to be very busy, it may just be coincidence that
the last message in the log before the crash was a "Cleaned cache" message. You
may want to consider turning on debugging at a fairly highly level to see
*exactly* what it was doing just prior to the crash.

Also, since named is dying, it's probably leaving a core file. You might want
to report this is a bug to ISC, and they in turn may ask for the core file,
which would probably be a lot more informative than just those log entries.

Or, then again, maybe just wait until 8.2.3. This may be a bug that's already
been fixed...
