Right you are, sorry for the confusion.

Yes, of course I tested it. The problem is that I forgot I was also
regression testing 9.4.1 on RELENG_6 at the same time.

I sent re@ a request last night for guidance on whether to MFC 9.4.1
to RELENG_6. By the end of today I will either do that, or comment out
those options in named.conf.

Thanks to all who wrote me about this issue. :)
