no more TCP clients: quota reached

[Martin McCormick]

We have been running BIND 9.2.1 for many months with no
problem at all when we suddenly started getting
messages in the log of the format shown in the subject line.

Shortly after that, the named process died. After
restarting it, all is well again. What quota was exceeded? Bind
was extremely busy at the time. I think we have been running
this version of bind since last June and this is the first time
it has just died on its own.

It is one good piece of software, but something went
wrong today.

If you hunt around in the logs you should see a INSIST
failure from line 68 of quota.c.

Upgrade to 9.2.2rc1.
