	This (at least named-checkzone) is interecting.  named-checkconf
	run against my /etc/namedb/named.conf exits cleanly.  But
	named-checkzone gives me some errors.  E.g.:

	# named-checkzone -d named.conf
	loading "named.conf" from "named.conf" class "IN"
	dns_master_load: named.conf:2: unexpected end of line
	dns_master_load: named.conf:2: unexpected end of input
	dns_zone_load: zone named.conf/IN: loading master file named.conf: unexpected end of input


	But things seem fine if I name an explicit zone and give the 
	exact filename:


	# named-checkzone -d thought.org s/db.thought.org
	loading "thought.org" from "s/db.thought.org" class "IN"
	dns_master_load: s/db.thought.org:57: CNAME and other data
	dns_zone_load: zone thought.org/IN: loading master file s/db.thought.org: CNAME and other data


	Any suggestions on what's wrong with the first use?  Or shouldn't
	I be pointing named-checkzone at named-conf?!

	thanks for some light here,

	gary
