Firstly, I'd strongly recommend upgrading to 9.8.3-P1 on account of this
security issue (and other fixes):
https://www.isc.org/software/bind/advisories/cve-2012-1667

Then, if the problems still persists, please can you run through the
troubleshooting steps and collect the data listed in this knowledge base
article:

https://deepthought.isc.org/article/AA-00340/0/What-to-do-if-your-BIND-or-DHCP-server-has-crashed.html

And then submit the problem to us directly via a bug report.

Thanks
