the unkillable

[Randy Bush]

freebsd 4.4-stable (almost a month old)
bind 8.3.0-T2A and an 8.2.5

four days ago, i started getting reports of unkillable axfr processes
bigtime.  while there seem to be no zombies, there are a lot of axfr
kipple files left in this host's secondary directory.

this is not happening on a server on a sibling host on the same lan.

clues appreciated
