well, I was using a cross-compiler to build the BIND 9.3.0 code for HP
NonStop Server that runs a UNIX like shell. Can u please clarify why I
need to fix how long long is printed?

Also, I am not able to understand why the following messages are being
printed in the logs:

18-Jan-2005 11:10:04.0lu zone authors.bind/CH: could not find NS and/or
SOA records
18-Jan-2005 11:10:04.0lu zone authors.bind/CH: has lu SOA records
18-Jan-2005 11:10:04.0lu zone authors.bind/CH: has no NS records

The same thing is shown for these zones too:
hostname.bind
version.bind
id.server

Thank you,
Nishant
