launch with usual

directly, or via systemd unit, is OK. bind9 execs as normal.
i've been bumping releases as they arrive; been stable for quite awhile here.
a new build, bumping to v9.21.24 -- with same spec/config as usual builds & installs with no errors

but on exec of same
/usr/local/bind9/bin/named -n 2 -S 1024 -u named -c /usr/local/etc/named/named.conf
nothing.
no bind logs -- at debug or any level.
no systemd journal entries.
no errors to console.
named-checkconf doesn't complain at all.
just radio silence.
switch back to v9.21.23, all's good.
i'm certainly used to tracking down config changes, etc on -devel version bumps.
but, am currently stumped as to why i get _no_ output of any kind.
any hints as to where to poke at this?
or anything obvious i might've missed?
