No, It didn't. From the FAQ that comes with bind9:
Q: Why do I see 5 (or more) copies of named on Linux?
A: Linux threads each show up as a process under ps. The approximate
number of threads running is n+4, where n is the number of CPUs. Note
that the amount of memory used is not cumulative; if each process is using
10M of memory, only a total of 10M is used.

Upgrade, please. 9.1 is significantly past its sell-by date.
Doug Barton: The "BIND9 runs 5 copies of itself!" thing seems like a
prime candidate for the FAQ.
