BIND 9.5.0-P1 exiting due to assertion failure in rbtdb.c

[Kai Lanz]

We're seeing a failure very similar to what Bob McElrath reported. We  
just
installed BIND 9.5.0-P1 on Alpha/Tru64-4.0G (we had previously been  
running
BIND 8). After an hour and a half, named terminated with the  
following log
entries:

Aug  6 19:07:15 pangea named[1568]: rbtdb.c:1439: REQUIRE(prev > 0)  
failed
Aug  6 19:07:15 pangea named[1568]: exiting (due to assertion failure)

Here's what named.conf looks like (this is a caching-only name server):

options {
         directory "/etc";
         dump-file "/etc/cache_dump.db";
         statistics-file "/etc/named_stats.txt";
};

logging {
         category lame-servers {null; };
         category edns-disabled { null; };
};

include "/etc/rndc.key";

zone "0.0.127.IN-ADDR.ARPA" {
         type master;
         file "named.local";
};

zone "." {
         type hint;
         file "named.ca";
};

Has a cause or a fix for this been found?
