BIND v8.2.3 Stats Issue

Hello,

I noticed that the latest version of Bind v8.2.3 do not log 'USAGE ', 
'NSTATS', 'XSTATS' ,and 'Cleaned cache' every 60 min. by default or 
by 'statistics-interval 60 & cleaning-interval 60' option statements 
in 'named.conf'

It randomly missed a scheduled stats dump to the log file.

Not sure if this is a bind feature or a bind bug or a Sun Solaris 8 issue.  

The local server's crontab is setup locally to do a 'ndc reload at X:55 each

hour.

The server is a Sun Solaris 8 running on a Netra T1 UltraSPARC-II(64-bit
mode) 
with 1 GB. physical memory.

Here is a sample stats logged to the log file:
