Running bind 9.5.0-P2 with -DISC_SOCKET_FDSETSIZE=8192
on Solaris 8, recently patched, on Sparc.  Server is DNS only, on 
reasonably old hardware, and thus fairly busy most of the time.


Got this in the the logs :

named[9706]: [ID 873579 local4.crit] socket.c:2586: fatal error:
named[9706]: [ID 873579 local4.crit] select() failed: Invalid argument
named[9706]: [ID 873579 local4.crit] exiting (due to fatal error in library)

and named had to be restarted.  I know that there have been a few others 
reporting this on the list, but I wanted to add one to the frequency 
counter.

We did get a good core file dumped, if that would be of any help in 
debugging this.
