Hello,

9.16.1 had been pushed into ISC stable PPA for Bionic, but without the 
native Bind read-write lock compilation option.
As expected, my resolvers locked a few minute later.
Thank you for your fixed packages in your PPA.
I hope that the native glibc distribution package update will be 
expedited faster.


Emmanuel.
