Title: Running bind 9.2.4 on Debian Sarge without caps

Hello,
I know that running bind in a vserver guest is a bit problematic, so I decided to recompile Bind with linux-caps disabled according to

http://linux-vserver.org/Problematic_Programs#Bind9_on_Debian_GNU.2FLinux_Woody_.283.0.29_and_Sarge_.283.1.29
and
http://www.newt.com/debian/acornHOWTO/ (Section bind9)

But I couldn't start named properly. No error messages neither on promt nor on syslog occur but the name server isn't running.

If I want to stop the service I receive the well known message:

Stopping domain name service: namedrndc: connect failed: connection refused

But I don't think it is a permission problem, since running named in foreground resulting in

mystery:/etc/bind# named -g -p 53
Oct 24 13:50:14.675 starting BIND 9.2.4 -g -p 53
Oct 24 13:50:14.676 using 1 CPU
Oct 24 13:50:14.678 loading configuration from '/etc/bind/named.conf'
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

strace gives no more information, so I think I've made some mistake configuring the listening server.
The crucial file where named is stop is the name.conf.options

mystery:/etc/bind# cat named.conf.options
options {

            // Avoids listening on 127.0.0.1.
            listen-on {
                195.227.242.154;
            };

        auth-nxdomain no;    # conform to RFC1035

};

    controls {
            inet 195.227.242.154 allow {
                   195.227.242.154;
            };
    };

The one and only IP is 195.227.242.154 which is a virtual IP on eth0:5 on the host system. The host system is running bind too but I don't listen to the given IP.

If I disable the listen directive I get the following message from named:

mystery:/etc/bind# named -g -p 53
Oct 24 13:56:53.970 starting BIND 9.2.4 -g -p 53
Oct 24 13:56:53.970 using 1 CPU
Oct 24 13:56:53.973 loading configuration from '/etc/bind/named.conf'
Oct 24 13:56:53.973 no IPv6 interfaces found
Oct 24 13:56:53.973 listening on IPv4 interface eth0:5, 195.227.242.154#53
Oct 24 13:56:53.975 peer.c:87: REQUIRE(*list != ((void *)0)) failed
Oct 24 13:56:53.975 exiting (due to assertion failure)
Aborted (core dumped)

I've been at my wits' end and I hope some could help me.

Best regards,
Holger
