Try: strace -e trace=!futex -f -p 1747 -o trace.txt and see what's left over. And get the output of: lsof -p 1747 too so you can match of file descriptor numbers. This may shed a little light on what named is working on at the time. Does it settle down if you leave it alone? Is it easy to reproduce? For you I mean; for example, if it _has_ settled down, can you make it happen again by stopping and restarting named? If so, does HUPping named trigger it also?
