Didn't help. I'm guessing you run many virtual domains. Before reloading named you need to run the following command: limit openfiles=128 or limit openfiles=360 Or ulimit This expands or removes the shell open files limitation. This is somewhat dependent on your shell. There are many instances of this in the mail archvies. Search for 'named AND open', with the same Hope this helps.
