Install BIND 9.2.3. Most of the crashes will disappear. BIND PE is based on
a buggy version of the BIND 9.2.x socket code.

TCP/IP plus usual base services. Turn off the DNS Client, it will cause you 
lots
of problems especially if you are running your own DNS on the box. BIND PE
also keeps it's cache will will cause all sorts of problems that will take 
a while
to clear up.
