Every patch I have tried so far has been buggy, including ISC's patch.
There is already talk of a newer version of ISC's patch.

The first one for 9.2.2 on Slashdot is slow. The phirate patch crashes
bind after a while. ISC's causes NS record lookups for non-cached
domains to fail. If you do a A record lookup for to get the domain
cached, then the NS record lookup works. Someone on the bin9 users
mailing list said it had to do with some gtld servers answering with an
old format and the patch assumes the new format.

I have patched six servers, and have more to do.
