I changed the above to
logging{
  channel simple_log {
    file "/var/log/named/nlog" versions 3 size 5m;
    severity info;
    print-time yes;
    print-severity yes;
    print-category yes;
  };
  category default{
    simple_log;
  };
};

Now bind does not die but but it cannot find the log file:
logging channel 'simple_log' file '/var/log/named/nlog': file not found

ls /var/log/named/*
/var/log/named/nlog

Why would named not be able to find the log when it is there? The nlog file
is owned by user bind and grup bind. 

Thank you in advance for any suggestion you may have!
