Hello Bind gurus, recently, I have been presented with an unusual problem. For 2 nights running I have found the named daemon not running. I have found the following error condition: the system time just before failure was set to an invalid date. The complete error condtion and messages follows. Does anyone have a solution to this problem? Would a complete update of BIND on the following OS help this vulnerabilty? What are some of the issues the may arise if I upgrade BIND? TIA, David.

OS: rh 7.2
KERNEL: 2.4.7-10
BIND: 9.1.3

Error condition and messages from named:
