Have tested some more different versions for Windows:

9.4.2 used to run this without any problems, and perhaps the best option at 
the moment even vulnerable to the spoofing attack. Typically our servers 
used about 40-50M RAM

9.4.2p1 leaks memory and crashes after few hours (even plenty of free RAM 
left). Named process is still on and responds to windows task manager, but 
no reply to DNS queries.

9.5.0 leaks memory & handles, takes 2-3 days and the server runs out of 
memory and named stops responding. Named process still keeps running though. 
Restarting the named process "fixes" the problem till 2-3 days again.

9.5.0p1 leaks memory and crashes after few hours (even plenty of free RAM 
left). Named process is still on and responds to windows task manager, but 
no reply to DNS queries.

9.5.1b1 leaks memory & handles, takes 2-3 days and the server runs out of 
memory and named stops responding. Named process still keeps running though. 
Restarting the named process "fixes" the problem till 2-3 days again.

Currently running the 9.5.1b1 and restarting the service every day in every 
server....
