That version has the worst of it, at least it's not consistent when
it fails (different file names, etc).  After updating all the way
to 9.10.4-P5 (plus bumping libdb) it still has the INSIST failure;
it just takes a few more hours before it dies:

11-Apr-2017 05:41:03.304 general:
critical: ../../../lib/dns/rbtdb.c:9788:
INSIST((rbtdb->rdatasets[header->node->locknum]).head != (header))
failed 11-Apr-2017 05:41:03.305 general: critical: exiting (due to
assertion failure)

It does not fail like this on x86 or ARM, but the other hosts I
have to compare are running Gentoo (mainly hardened profile) and we
still provide libdb4.8 (which is what bind links against on Gentoo
instead of libdb5.3-whatever on debian).

If you have an easy way to downgrade libdb or some other fix for
bind, that would be awesome, otherwise I am running out of ideas...

Thanks, Steve

Bug#839010: bug still there in jessie (mips)

2017-04-05 Thread Steve Arnold
This is still a problem for mips/mipsel but stretch has the
upstream fixes.  Can you please add the stretch bind9 packages to
jessie-backports?  I'm building it now on edgerouter (albeit
slowly) but a lot of other people running on this hardware could
benefit from the fixes.

Thanks in advance...
