Hi!

I just compiled pkgsrc/bind9 (9.2.3nb1) on/for my ipx. After flawless
compilation and installation running named fails with a core dump:

  [Sun Jan 11 14:09:27 kilbisun root]# gdb /usr/tmp/bind9/sbin/named named.core

Running in foreground mode (-f) yields no core dump and named seems to
work properly.

Compiling the same pkgsrc/bind9 on/for i386 and macppc you'll get a
working named, too.

Using older bind9 binaries without pthread support I'll see no named9
core dump, too.

So, is this a sparc specific pthread problem? send-pr (to which list)?
