I can give those a try, but I need to find a way of preventing BIND
from sending notifies to our peers.  I don't imagine that they'll be
very happy with repeated notifies from an unauthorized host.

I suppose it's possible to do this by setting up a server with
e.g. a linux-vserver kernel and no network bridge.

I don't know of a way to consistently reproduce the crash.

To add to the fun, there are some additional problems after the
OpenSSL upgrade, manifesting in a completely unresponsive nameserver,
which proceeds to crash without any output in the system logs.

I tried running an strace on the process to capture the moment, but
the problem with this is that it not only bogs the server down a bit,
it also uses up the available disk space.  (Yep, with 130k+ zones, we
do get a bit of traffic, and filtering in strace requires that we know
what to filter for.)

I'll keep on trying to reproduce the problem, though, since it does
appear to happen shortly after startup, or during startup.
