ndc: unix socket ops failing

[David Carmean]

Hope this isn't too far out of the scope of this group...even though 
I'm running into this problem while trying to bring up BIND 8.2, it's 
probably actually a Solaris problem....  

    coke:/var/dns> uname -a
    SunOS coke 5.6 Generic_105181-05 sun4m sparc SUNW,SPARCstation-20
    coke:/var/dns> head named.run
    Debug level 1
    Version = named 8.2 Tue Jun  8 15:44:20 PDT 1999
	    dlc at coke:/usr/local/src/BIND/8.2/src/bin/named

ndc, when talking to named via /etc/ndc, works only partially and 
causes named to crash with a SIGABRT after a reload.  Seems to work 
OK, however, when I give it the PIDfile location with -p.  Trace at 
level 1 gives:

    ctl_wrtimeout: /etc/ndc: write timeout, closing
    evDeselectFD(fd 6, mask 0x2)
    ctl_srvr.c:660: REQUIRE(sess->state == writing) failed

Oddly, I was able to start this debug trace with the socket-mode ndc 
session, but "reload" from the same ndc session caused the above crash.

After it's crashed, I still have this socket:

    coke:/etc> ls -al ndc
    srw-------   1 root            0 Aug 11 22:08 ndc

Because of my unfamiliarity with unix-mode sockets, I'm not sure where to go 
next with the troubleshooting.  Any ideas?

Thanks.
