Bind overwriting data in memory

Hi,
I am running BIND-4.9.3-REL on a Dec Alpha (Digital Unix 3.2D), and all is
working well except for one thing. My nameserver is acting as both a
primary and a secondary for the domain "xyz.ie", but named does not
merge the 2 zone files in memory - instead it overwrites the first zone
file with the one loaded last. Specifically, in my named.boot file, I
have :

primary xyz.ie xyz.hosts
secondary xyz.ie a.b.c.d xyz.secondary

If I dump the named database and cache (kill -INT), I see the relevant
entries for the domains xyz.ie (i.e. I see an entry for the primary domain
and for the seondary domain), but the actual data in the zone is that
contained in the zone file loaded last (xyz.secondary in the case above).

Has anyone seen this before ? I have the same configuration running on
a linux box (again using BIND-4.9.3-REL) and it works fine.

Thanks in advance for any help. By the way, I have not yet subscribed to
the list so please reply directly to me.

I apologise if any of you have received this already.)
