FWIW, the status message from ndc/named was changed to something more
meaningful in 8.2.3:

1112    [support]       "ndc status" no longer mentions loading of config.

NOBODY should be running 8.2.2P5. Aside from being an old version that
has long been superseded, it has security holes. Scripts for
exploiting those holes are in circulation. See:
