Steve-

I built and installed bind 9.92 from ports to install in base on my Pi
with 512M of memory a few days ago.  It has been running as a caching
name server ever since with no lockups.

I did not try the bind included in base because the Pi image I started
with did not have bind.

It might be something not related to bind causing the lockup and bind
is just pushing it over the edge.
