I merely said that there are a few bugs in BIND TxB. But BIND 8.2.2-pX have problems as well. I just read over the CHANGES and there have been fixed a number of memory leaks. So you might be tripping over these. >b) the solution is to use a different version of BIND Possibly. >That brings me to one other question: >In reviewing the list archives I noticed some early complaints about >beta code being used in -STABLE. The response to this was (if I >understood it correctly) that the 8.2.3 beta code was better than the >8.2.2 stable code. 8.2.2 has had problems as well.
