I would immediately suspect something on your network. Packet loss,
mismatched MTU, etc.

If I were you, I would run tcpdump on both master and slave and then
attempt a zone transfer, and examine that packet trace. See what's going
on. Are there TCP retransmits? Which side is stalling? The sender or
receiver? What, if anything, do you see in the log files of your BIND on
both the master and slave?
