Alternatively, you turn threading off, and it works just as well, as far
as I've been able to tell :)

Something very odd is happening there; I don't see that on any of the
nameservers I admin (none of which are publically accessible, but one of
which is fairly heavily hit nonetheless, hundreds to thousands of
requests a minute).


(FWIW, I build bind with

--disable-threads --with-libtool --enable-shared --disable-static
--with-gnu-ld)
