Now "BIND-8.2.2-P5-NOESW" on FreeBSD 3.4-RELEASE crashed too, with the
following log messages:

Nov  8 21:05:09 unity named[147]: db_freedata: d_rcnt != 0
Nov  8 21:05:09 unity /kernel: pid 147 (named), uid 53: exited on signal 6
Nov  8 21:05:09 unity named[147]: db_freedata: d_rcnt != 0

Strangely, this happens a few minutes _AFTER_ the evil named-xfer! In the
timespan between the DoS command and the crash, named functions as normal...
