I've never seen 'ndc' segfault.  There used to be a version of 'named'
that did NOT clean up the "ctl_server" port on re-start, and so caused
the above message.  Are you sure that both 'named' and 'ndc' are being
run from the new installation?  Is the default Unix socket that both use
in a directory that is writable by 'named' and readable by 'ndc'?  I'm
just guessing around here; no real grounds for anything.
