Public bug reported: I'm reporting this here to raise awareness of the bug. I suspect it's the same identical problem reported with Bind9 on Fedora, at: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=709205
Basically, with DNSSEC enabled, and the "managed-keys-directory" option commented out in the config, named will sit at 100% cpu usage all of the time. It still answers queries, but it's using a lot of CPU over nothing.
