freebsd stable - Nov 2004 - heavy named problems

Hi,

i have freebsd 5.3-release with the base bind 9.3 (chrooted). It allows 
recursive queries. After few hours running, the server answers to every 
query with SERVFAIL. Few minutes before, in the logs is this:


named: isc_mutex_init failed in new_adbfind()

After /etc/rc.d/named restart it's working fine for a couple of hours...
What could cause this problem?



Kind regards,

Michael Riexinger
systems engineer

Out of memory? Hitting memory limits?

The code appears to chuck the return code if its nonzero, which is pesky.
I suspect its ENOMEM, though.


How big is the named process when it starts malfunctioning?
