named.conf lint (format debugging)

I ran into a weird issue with my named.conf file (Bind 9) whereby (and 
oddly) the server no longer recognizes the keywords "key" or "controls", 
regardless of where I place them.   Nothing really changed on the system, 
and I've tried a myriad of formatting changes to see what would happen.

My question is, is there a proggy around that will do a lint of your 
named.conf file and point out any formatting problems.   Oddly, I remove 
those statements and it runs fine, but complains about a missing rndc.key file.
