"Hi, here's a release.  Oh, patch it quick."

Me?  I bailed on BIND 8 long ago and run BIND 9 in a chroot.
OpenBSD added some nice patches which do things like open /dev/null
and /dev/zero BEFORE chrooting so I don't really need much in
that env.

BIND 8 is dead.  Over.  Passe compose.  Per vixie, 2 years ago even.
Maint only.
