I've had bind8/named in the base system flake out about once every three months in the same way. It'll spew those messages repeatedly until /var gets full, then the real fun starts. If I notice it before it becomes a real problem, generally just running ndc restart fixes things up. Unfortunately, it only seems to happen at night when I'm asleep. The only thing I have noticed that correlates closely with the odd named behavior I've noticed here is a drop in the machine's network connection. It doesn't have to be a long drop, just a few seconds or so, and we're off to the races. Generally the drop is a result of the next gateway up the line flaking out, etc. I'm seriously thinking about switching to bind9 from ports because I've never seen a bind9 machine behave like this. The namedb.root I'm running is the box-stock one you get from mergemaster. My boxes are updated fairly religiously (after security advisories, mainly), so I don't think namedb.root is the problem.
