This last week we had a sudden large increase in the size of the named
process resulting in the machine running out of memory and hanging.
This is with bind 9.9.6 on a Solaris 10 Sparc machine.
This is probably going to be an annoying suggestion, but have you
considered using not a Sparc for this?
I was a huge Sun / Sparc fan (I *still* miss my Sun 4/360), but you
are in a definite minority using this for production BIND. Sometimes
there is safety in numbers...

I have posted in the past about a steady continuous growth in the
size of the named process. The Subjects for those posts are:
failed: out of memory
Process size versus cache size.
bind-9.10.0-P2 memory leak? (I hijacked someone else's thread)
I have also filed a bug report about this continuous growth.
The following measurements show the steady continuous growth over
a little more than a month.

Sat Nov 29 08:06:52 EST 2014 No output from the ps command.
We were closed for thanksgiving when this happened. The only recursive
queries would have been for email processing by Sendmail. Monday morning
we had to reboot the machine by powering it down and back up.
The logs did not show any unusual messages from the named process.

I don't think the execution is relevant when it was obviously a bad
idea in the first place.
This is like putting rabid weasels in your pants, and later expressing
regret at having chosen those particular rabid weasels and that pair
of pants.
