Thanks, Bjoern,

Not that I am aware of.  I'm using bind9 but not from ports and haven't 
installed any dns stuff from ports but I'm going to recheck, JIC.

I'm going to apply the patch and test it in a bit.  Thanks very much 
for sending it.  I'm seeing this problem on 4 different machines.  I've 
got a couple that I started with php5 and they are great.  The only 
problems are with the ones that were initiated with php4.

Thanks, again,
