I failed to find an upstream bug about this (open or closed), and an inspection of the commit messages also didn't yield useful results to me. I also tried some of the domain names your logs showed but didn't manage to crash my bind server. Your server is quite busy, though, so this could also be a race condition. Would you perhaps be willing to submit a bug upstream at bugs.isc.org, including the core dump (or just let me know the bug number and I can attach it there: you have to extract it from the crash file with apport- unpack). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1736943 Title: 9.10.3.dfsg.P4-8ubuntu1.9 - keep on crashing on Ubuntu 16.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bind9/+bug/1736943/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
