You have to remove the following lines from your named.conf.zones:

634: zone "" {
635:         type slave;
636:         file "S/"; 
637:         masters {  
638:         ;
639:         };
640: };

This zone-statement is useless. This is an empty zone statement for a
slave. The master does not exist. The file does not exist. The zone does
not exist.

I suspect that this statement is entered in the config-file by some
automated script. You probably have a lot of zone-files, and use some
administrative tool to handle them. In that case, the script allows you to
enter an empty zone statement. I suggest to have the script fixed by the
original author. 

If you don't want to remove it, for future use, you can
"outcomment" them like:

#zone "" {
#        type slave;
#        file "S/";
#        masters {
#        ; 
#        };
#};
