Now that you mention it, i remember i have seen recent BIND9 implementations
reporting they found only one cpu on a dual-processor machine. I think it was
9.3.2b1. Specifying the number of processors via cmdline option "-n 2" should
temporarily solve this problem for you Rick, please report back if it does as
i am running all of my high workload machines with --disable-threads making
use of the ISC_INTERNAL_MALLOC routine Jinmei told me about on this list early
this year.
Sorry i didn't report this earlier, iirc i was in a hurry getting something
fixed. I'll test the behaviour 9.3.2b2 on this right away.

Btw. As the ISC apparently runs f.root-servers.net on BIND 9.3.1 i'm curious,
does it run with or without threads enabled?
