I have seen errors like this occuring recently on my primary
nameserver:

Apr  4 07:50:38 dnsdev named[17242]: malformed transaction:
noc.domain.db.jnl last serial 72 != transaction first serial 67
Apr  4 07:50:38 dnsdev named[17242]: client 128.153.49.50#32771:
updating zone 'noc.domain.edu/IN': error: journal write failed:
unexpected error

This server is running in a chrooted environment, running as user
'named'.  We are using bind 9.2.4 (on RHEL3).  The zone files and their
journals have permissions like this:

drwxr-xr-x    2 named    named        4096 Apr  4 07:59 .
drwxr-xr-x    3 root     root         4096 Apr  3 15:55 ..

Google'ing the error messages hasn't helped.  Has anyone seen errors
like this before?
