Just FYI, the binary format is *much* faster for loading (like twice as fast), which is why it is now the default. It was a kind of BCP to tell people "convert to binary format" when they asked us how to speed up BIND 9 start times, which as a developer makes you scratch your head and think, "why do people have to jump through hoops that computers can just do for you?" The error message you see is because we do change the binary format, and when we don't understand an older (or newer) version we simply punt on the operation. It's generally the safest thing to do, although perhaps we could try harder and go fishing around for text files too. I checked and we do install named-compilezone with "make install", so I'm not sure why you have an older version - perhaps this is a case of default paths giving the wrong executable?
