Until yesterday I was running bind 9.3.0 on a SPARCclassic (running NetBSD
2.0) as my secondary DNS server/caching DNS on my home network. I've had to
switch back to bind8 because 9.3.0 killed the machine twice in a week -
name resolution stops working and when I try and restart the bind process
the machine becomes unresponsive and I eventually have to break into the
PROM and reset it. There's nothing useful in the logs or on the console.
I'm not sure if my 9.3.0 was built with threads - it's the default build
from pkgsrc-current as of a few weeks ago. 

Haven't really had a chance to investigate further, but now that you
mention threads, I'm wondering if that doesn't have something to do with
it, although I thought only sparc64 had thread issues with 2.0?
