Bind problems

[Brett Simpson]

I'm having a problem with Bind 9.2.2-22 rpm on my Primary DNS server crashing 
once or twice a week. I'm running Redhat 9.0 on a 1.0ghz with 900mb of ram.

At least this time before it crashed I saw a bunch of these messages that I 
normally don't see all at once. Also the crash seemed to happen after I did a 
reload of my config after making some changes through webmin.

I'm seeing a thousand of these:

Did a reload of the config:

Named processes are no longer running so I then restart them:
