I don't know what's the problem with the symbol table, but from the
trace you provided, it is pretty clear that the problem is that "np"
is uninitialised in cache_found_zone().

I suspect this is a problem you need to take to the dhcp-workers
list (dhcp-workers@isc.org) rather than a NetBSD list, since this
looks to be just as broken in the ISC distribution (which I don't
think that NetBSD alters at all).

It may be that the fix is as simple as replacing "np" in that call with
"zname".   Then again, it also might not.
