This means the master server doesn't have a SOA record for the zone.
Check that server's log files: there's probably a syntax error in the
zone file.

I suspect the fussier zone file parser in 8.2.3 expects white space
between the final (TTL) element of the SOA record and the closing
parenthesis. Your server logs will confirm this one way or the other.
Earlier versions of BIND had a more tolerant - and also more
inconsistent - zone file parser.
If this is the problem complain to the authors of Webmin, whatever
that is, because it's generating syntactically incorrect zone files.
