named exits

I'm having a weird problem with BIND 9.2.0rc1 running on Redhat 7.1, kernel
2.4.  I have named set to start up from /etc/rc.d/rc3.d with the usual
startup script. 
When the box is done booting named has died in the meantime and these
entries are in /var/messages:

   1462 Nov 13 13:39:17 nsbeta named[558]: loading configuration from
'/etc/named.conf'
   1463 Nov 13 13:39:17 nsbeta named[558]: /etc/named.conf:243: option
'check-names' is not implemented
   1464 Nov 13 13:39:17 nsbeta named[558]: no IPv6 interfaces found
   1465 Nov 13 13:39:17 nsbeta named[558]: listening on IPv4 interface lo,

   1466 Nov 13 13:39:17 nsbeta named[558]: listening on IPv4 interface eth0,

   1467 Nov 13 13:39:17 nsbeta named[558]: command channel listening on

   1468 Nov 13 13:39:17 nsbeta named[558]: couldn't open pid file
'/var/run/named.pid': Permission denied
   1469 Nov 13 13:39:17 nsbeta named[558]: exiting (due to early fatal
error)

If I then start named up manually it starts fine and all is well.

As a troubleshooting step, I set named not to start up from rc3.d, and added
the line: /usr/local/sbin/named onto the end of rc.local and rebooted and
named stayed up and ran fine.  Any ideas?  Thanks in advance.
