Now if you say it. I had to kill named manually since it has lost his
ARGV:

Instead of

bind        5068  0.0  1.4 30108 28440  ??  Ss   11:51AM  14:54.01 /usr/sbin/named -u bind -t /var/named

I just had this at the time the box crashed:

bind        5068  0.0  1.4 30108 28440  ??  Ss   11:51AM  14:54.01 [/usr/sbin/named]

or

bind        5068  0.0  1.4 30108 28440  ??  Ss   11:51AM  14:54.01 [named]

after recovery from the crash, now everything is ok again.
