 Take a look at memory usage when Bind stop's working and monitor for some
 time how much memory Bind is using. If that amount is growing, Bind
 probably got a memory leak. ( isn't the first time :( )

I've made the mistake of running bind with debugging (to find one bug), and 
have bind create a 2GB /var/named/named.run file.  Bind crashed because that 
file was too big.  Doh!  If your Bind crashes regularly after X days, see if 
its creating its own (non-syslog) log file.  Effects are similar to a memory 
leak.

 are neither friendly nor smart.

It's not, but thanks anyway!

Since I restarted the service on the night of the 24th, it's been running 
normally. Maybe I'll wait other 34 days (until January the 28th or so) and 
see what happens.

Thank you!
