Public bug reported:

Ubuntu xenial 16.04, bind9 1:9.10.3.dfsg.P4-8ubuntu1.14

Yesterday the named process started crashing frequently, 49 crashes so
far on 49 different servers around the world (one crash each!). We did
run OS upgrades yesterday, but bind9 packages were not updated at this
time. This particular bind9 package version was mostly deployed out last
month. Due to the sudden surge of crashes and the distribution I'm
suspecting this might be triggered remotely by an incoming packet.

Backtrace from the assert:
