$ truss named -f

If you're lucky, you might catch some of the last system calls
before it hangs, which might give a clue.

If all else fails, good old-fashioned "printf debugging" may
be your best shot:  Add printf() calls to named's main()
function and see what the last printout is and keep going
until you narrow it down to a particular function or system call.
Of course, this will go faster if you have FreeBSD src on the
RPi so you can edit, compile, install, and run again fairly
quickly.
