Subject: Core Dumping with BIND 8.1.2 - help urgently needed...

>Organization:
Plymouth State College
>Environment:

FreeBSD 3.0-RELEASE i386 running SMP on Dell PowerEdge 4200. 333MHz with 768MB RAM. This macine is our master name server, with 5 other machines getting domain transfers from it. Machine runs apache, squid, tftp, ftp, samba, and other minor services.

>Description:

log messages are consistent for each incident:

Jan 31 17:52:55 toto named[20648]: /usr/src/usr.sbin/named/../../contrib/bind/bin/named/ns
_main.c:491: INSIST(evGetNext(ev, &event, EV_WAIT) != -1): Invalid argument failed.
Jan 31 17:52:55 toto named[20648]: /usr/src/usr.sbin/named/../../contrib/bind/bin/named/ns
_main.c:491: INSIST(evGetNext(ev, &event, EV_WAIT) != -1): Invalid argument failed.
Jan 31 17:52:56 toto /kernel: pid 20648 (named), uid 0: exited on signal 6 (core dumped)

This has occured on: 
Jan 25 at about 19:31
Jan 26 at about 23:19
Jan 31 at about 17:52
Feb  1 at about 19:47

>How-To-Repeat:

Named has core dumped on the dates above, I cannot repeat the problem on demand.  
I cannot correlate external activity with the core dumping.

>Fix:
	
I do not have a fix. dnswalk finds no errors in the hosts files, the conf file looks good, and I can't interpret the log messages. 

Thanks in advance for any, suggestions, pointers, assistance, good will, etc.

 I have not had a problem with named, but inetd would core dump
 consistently.  I rebuilt it from source to try and debug, but it hasn't
 happened since.

 We're running FreeBSD 3.2-STABLE and running Bind 8.1.2 stable.
 
 I attempted to replicate your problem PowerEdge 4300 and was
 unsuccessful.
 
 My only sugestion would be to CVSup to 3.2-STABLE.

 As the last response answered: The suggestion is to update to a recent
 release. 
 
 Does the problem still exist? Can this port be closed?

BIND 8.1.2 has been replaced with v8.2.2-pl5 in -stable and -current. 
It's strongly suggested to either update or use the net/bind8 port.
