	Celeron 500/i810 chipset, IDE, one 10/100 NIC (DEC Tulip clone) - cheap
machine!
>Description:
	bind dies unexpectedly with a signal 6.  In the security check output:
 Oct 17 01:58:02 chaos named[28525]: /usr/src/usr.sbin/named/../../contrib/bind/bin/named/ns_maint.c:274: INSIST(zp->z_time == 0 || zp->z_time > tt.tv_sec) failed.

 pid 28525 (named), uid 53: exited on signal 6
 Oct 17 01:58:02 chaos /kernel: pid 28525 (named), uid 53: exited on signal 6

>How-To-Repeat:
	Has happened twice, 4 days apart, so far.
>Fix:
  Someone suggested "sysctl -w kern.timecounter.method=1"; I'm not sure this
works yet.

 Please consult the mailing list archives; this is almost certainly due
 to a non-functional system clock.

State-Changed-Why:  
As per Kris' follow-up, we're waiting to hear from the originator 
whether it is indeed a system clock problem.

 Unfortunately, I have no more data.  I moved the system to another machine for 
 other reasons (really could use the upgrade to scsi), and there have been no 
 further problems.
 As a side note, changing the timecounter method did not appear to fix the 
 problem.
