bind crashes

[Mark.Andrews at nominum.com]

	This is a kernel bug.  gettimeofday() is returning a time with
	a bad tv_usec field.  If you don't see it then you are lucky.
	This INSIST() is there so that you can detect the problem and
	if you are lucky enough to be running one of the OS's where
	the fix below applies to be able to fix it yourself.  If not
	you need to contact your OS vendor and complain.

	With earlier versions of BIND this bug manifests itself as a
	unexpected errno in the main loop.

	BIND uses sub-second timeouts.  You can't compute how long these
	should be if you can't get accurate time.
