All, Has anyone else encountered a bind 9.13.4-1/named daemon dying with "assertion failure" in the past week. I have encountered the problem twice. When named dies, status reports: ● named.service - Internet domain name server Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/named.service; enabled; vendor preset: disabled) Active: failed (Result: signal) since Thu 2018-12-06 10:35:51 CST; 15h ago Process: 23007 ExecStart=/usr/bin/named -f -u named (code=killed, signal=ABRT) Main PID: 23007 (code=killed, signal=ABRT) Dec 06 10:35:51 phoinix named[23007]: #1 0x7f078ea0fcaa in ??
