I get this when i try to start Bind9 v9.4.1:

----- s n i p -----
12-Jul-2007 18:54:14.278 zone 168.192.in-addr.arpa/IN: sending notifies (serial 2007071201)
12-Jul-2007 18:54:14.282 view.c:1161: REQUIRE(keyp != ((void *)0) && *keyp == ((void *)0)) failed
12-Jul-2007 18:54:14.284 exiting (due to assertion failure)
----- s n i p -----

Any idea where to start looking for the problem?

I've sent this to you privatly, so I don't have to
clean it.

Any replies to this can continue to go to the list
(for others to benefit from).

Well, that obviously didn't work. The address vi...@vix.com
don't exists (my mails bounces).

Bummer. Is there a patch somewhere? Where can I find the issue tracker?
