Package: bind9
Version: 1:9.2.1-2.woody.2
Severity: important
After overhauling my named.conf I found that I cannot reload or restart
my bind9 any longer:
| named[2427]: starting BIND 9.2.1
| named[2427]: using 1 CPU
| named[2430]: loading configuration from '/etc/bind/named.conf'
| named[2430]: time.c:89: REQUIRE(nanoseconds < 1000000000) failed
| named[2430]: exiting (due to assertion failure)
The trouble went away as soon as I've altered the value for the
serial-query-rate configuration option.
How to repeat:
- Do a fresh bind9 installation.
- Edit /etc/bind/named.conf. In the "options" section, add the follwing
statement:
| serial-query-rate 10;
- reload or restart bind9.
Workaround:
Use a value different from "10", e.g. "9" or "11".
Notes:
- The behaviour was not found in the testing version of bind9 (9.2.4-1).
- bind9 may successfully run with the option set. It did so for months
but the configuration seems to have triggered the problem (in brief,
I've removed all view statements).

Since this bug references a BIND 9 version that is even older than
oldstable (lenny) I'm closing it.
Please reopen if reproducible in newer versions.
