Nothing strange at all. Most likely there is a view {...} statement in
your named.conf (or lwresd.conf). Without view statements all configured
zones are contained in the default view, which is appropiately named
"_default". But once you have views configured, the lightweight resolver
needs to be told which world view to present. A _default view no longer
exists. That's why you also get the error message "binding lightweight
resolver ports: not found"

To use the lightweight resolver in the presence of views you need:
lwres {
 view <viewname>;
};
