bind 9.1.0 issues :-\

I am having the same problem with logging zone transfers (see my message
from a couple of days ago, "logging zone transfers in bind
9.1.0"). I've tried using the category "xfer_out", and I've also tried
letting the default logs catch it. Either way I can't get it to work. So
I think the question becomes this: Are outgoing zone transfers being
logged at all in Bind 9.1.0? If so, is it OS specific? I am also running
Linux (slackware) on x86.
