The infamous "munnari" bug suite refers to a problem which was discussed on bind-workers@isc.org in a thread "8.2.3 - maybe a problem" started by Robert Elz <kre@munnari.OZ.AU> on July 4, 2000. The problem was basically that named on some extremely busy systems managed to effectively block SIGCHLD, and therefore didn't clean up all of its children - and thus sooner or later ran out of virtual memory/swap space.
