Gack, there's an error in my report.  I swore I was looking at the
right PuTTY window...

It's specific to two boxes running 6.2-STABLE and hardware-wise differ
completely.  rc.conf's are the same, but make.conf differs (box 1 uses
CPUTYPE?=pentium3, box2 uses CPUTYPE?=nocona).  Both are using the 4BSD
scheduler.

A third box running 6.2-STABLE (the one using the single-core P4 CPU
and CPUTYPE?=prescott, 4BSD scheduler) does not exhibit the problem.

I tried to reproduce the problem on our 7.0-PRERELEASE box (using
identical hardware to that of box2) and couldn't.  So it may indeed be
some BIND bug...
