We had a similar problem in SCO5 (.0.0). We avoided the problem with
a watchdog script restarting the named when necessary. Occasionally we
found some invalid entries in root.cache. We're not sure but maybe this could
have sth. to do with the problem.

I want to die peacefully in sleep like my grandfather.  
Not screaming in terror like his passengers.
