problem transferring zones to win2k slave

hello,
i'm running bind 9.2.3 on solaris 8, and recently several win2k
slave servers started logging event ID 7500 errors with the (unhelpful)
description "The DNS server failed to process a packet from <master>.
The packet was discarded."  

bind doesn't show any problems and only logs "AXFR-style IXFR
started" for each slave, so i tried the following: 

 - setting "provide-ixfr no" for one of the slaves: (the zone in
 question is manually updated on the bind server so there are no
 IXFRs anyway).  this didn't fix the problem.

 -setting "transfer-format one-answer" for one of the slaves: (even
 though the windows servers are running SP3 and so should not have
 a problem with AXFRs >16KB) but that didn't help and bind logged
 "AXFR started" and then "send: socket is not connected."

the zone isn't too big (file size is 33381), and while i suspect
that something changed on the windows boxes, the admin says that
everything is the same.  does anyone have any ideas on this?
