Hello, Bind User~ ^_^

My name is Seonkyu Park.
I'm a graduate student at Konkuk University in Korea. I'm currently an associate UNIX 
administrator in my laboratory.

We are running BIND 8.2.3(source code added one line that available korean language)
on Solaris 7 x86 ( compaq dlt 360 model ) with single cpu and 512 memory.

Two days ago, our dns server has found following error.

Mar 14 11:21:40 ns named[1398]: db_load could not open: named.ca: Resource temporarily unavailable
Mar 14 11:21:55 ns named[1398]: db_load could not open: named.ca: Resource temporarily unavailable
Mar 14 11:38:46 ns named[19593]: db_load could not open: named.ca: Resource temporarily unavailable

After a while, named crashes. ( but named process is alive -> ps -eaf | grep named  )
I blamed hardware, and replaced the box, but that was 2 months ago, and now the same thing is happening.
Solaris 7 x86 setting is default setting.
I don't touch /etc/system file and named.conf file content's is below.


options {
    directory "/var/domain";

    allow-transfer { 2.2.2.2; 3.3.3.3;}; 
    version "Pri Name Server~(^^ ~)";
    notify no;
};

logging {
            category lame-servers { null; };
            category cname { null; };
//          category response-checks { null; };
//          category notify { null; };
};
zone "." { type hint; file "named.ca"; };
zone "0.0.127.IN-ADDR.ARPA" { type master; file "rev/0.0.127.in-addr.arpa"; };



Why named crashes ?
solaris kernel limits problem?? ( file descriptor or STDIO limit problem )
or.. BIND 8.2.3 problem ...
or.. something else..
or.. BIND 8.2.3 source code edit problem.. ( only one line added.. )


I see the CHANGE FILE in BIND 8.2.3 Document.

 952. [bug]  errs was not being correctly adjusted if the included
   master file did not exist in db_load(). 
                                           --------
   
Is BIND 8.2.3 still has a db_load bug ??

Plz advice me. ^^. plz plz..

Have a nice day~.
