Hmm, then the mutex locks dynamically generated are also irrelevant.

I've also tried to reproduce the problem in a similar environment
(BIND 9.5.0b1 with threads on FreeBSD 7.0RC1/AMD64, cache-only
configuration, using a real query sample), unsuccessfully.  One
significant difference is that I disabled SMP in the kernel (it was
very unstable with the SMP support for some unknown reason), but I
doubt this is the key for the difference of the named behavior.

BTW, is this reproduceable on FreeBSD 6.x?  If so, then I'd like to
see what happens if you specify some small value of datasize
(e.g. 512MB) and have named abort when malloc() fails with the "X"
_malloc_options.  (This option doesn't seem to work for FreeBSD 7.x,
at least at the moment).

Some other questions:
- can we see your named.conf?  If you specify non-default
  configuration options, that might be the reason for, or related to,
  this problem.
- does your named produce lot of log messages?  If so, it might also
  be a reason (simply because it relies on standard libraries).

Thanks,
