 these are essentially "QA's machines," but I will have to work with
 Ops if we decide to do so. The question is, are later (or earlier)
 versions of FreeBSD likely to *not* have this issue? I didn't see this

 That's my understanding from
 http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=175453

 That's not an option, of course.  But, whatever we do internally, I
 suspect a system that has such a fundamental binary compatibility
 issue won't be usable anyway.  So we'll discourage users to use
 FreeBSD 9.1 for BIND 10.  For the same reason, we should generally
 avoid that version of FreeBSD for QA.  That would simply cause
 difficult situations where we see strange intermittent failures and
 cannot even sure if it's our own code defect or the system's
 compatibility issue.
