bind9 memory leak with TreeMemTotal, and TotalUse stat seems fictional

[Bob Harold]

>From Oct 2019 to Jan 2020 our RedHat RHEL6 BIND DNS servers had a memory
leak and the named process had to be restarted weekly or so.  Vendor
updates caused and later fixed the problem.  I do not think that the BIND
version changed when it got fixed, so I think it must have been some
library.
