Comment 1 Daniel Walsh 2003-01-07 16:34:20 UTC

Named seems to be having a problem in multi-threaded smp environments.  ISC
seems to be recommending that you download the latest named package and build it
with threading turned off.  You could attempt this an see if the problem goes
away.  Red Hat has not decided how we are going to approach these problems yet.

We believe this might be solved by the new threads library.  Please attempt this
with the latest Beta release of 8.1.
