Something like

zone "example.com" {
    type slave;
    file "example.com";
    masters { 1.2.3.4; 2.3.4.5; };
};

That's a strange looking message. If I had to guess, I'd say that's a 
commingling of the message "starting name server BIND 9" with a 
carriage-return but no linefeed character, followed by the message 
"done", effectively overwriting the first 4 characters, at least to 
casual observation. Are you writing to the same log file from multiple 
processes, perhaps? That's a prescription for corruption...
