I have checked the application event log and it says "starting BIND 9.2.1".
I think I am running 9.2.1.

I have checked the dates of libisc.dll, libdns.dll, libisccc.dll and
libisccfg.dll, they all have the same date (24/11/01) and similar times
(23:09 and 23:06).

To recap:

BIND for NT crashes regularly (every 4 to 5 days) with "assertion failure":

Jun 21 06:41:52.917 socket.c:1567: INSIST(!sock->pending_recv) failed
Jun 21 06:41:52.947 exiting (due to assertion failure)

I have checked the version:

1.  Dig reports version.bind.           0S CHAOS TXT    "9.2.1"
2.  application event log says "starting BIND 9.2.1"
3.  libisc.dll has the same date and similar time as the other dll's
(24/11/01 23:06)

I will do a reinstall as advised.

Thanks for your help.
