If you didn't have a performance problem with 9.4.2-P2, please try
rebuilding 9.4.3-P3 with --disable-epoll as a workaround.

We've heard the problem you saw several times:
https://lists.isc.org/pipermail/bind-users/2009-April/076026.html
https://lists.isc.org/pipermail/bind-users/2009-May/076265.html
but haven't figured out the cause of that.  While it doesn't seem to
be super rare, it doesn't seem to be so common...I myself have never
seen this on my Linux test box, and many other Linux users apparently
don't have this problem either (otherwise we'd have got this report
much more frequently).  If you're willing to help debug this problem
(even if the workaround works), that would be great.

Thanks,
