bind-8.2.3 is quite old. I would replace with a fresh one
and try again. Why not 9.2.1 which is avaliable at isc.org ?
The amount makes me belive that a 16-bit int has been used
as length counter, a later compiler might have been more successful
in interpreting headerfiles.
And, btw, why spend time and efforts on NT when any un*x clone
would do the job better with less hazzle and certenly less cost ?
