A few months ago I reported problems with the name daemon on a 2.1.0-R machine. But -- except from someone having the same problem -- I got no answer. I know that it is difficult to reproduce. However, I think it would be nice to find out whether I did a configuration error or there is a bug in named. Therefore, I will let named in this state for the time being. It started today at 19:19.

May be someone can give me a hint what to try to locate the cause and/or to fix it. (The problem goes away when I kill and restart the daemon. reload does not help.)
