Problem with hint file?

[andlil at towerrecords.com]

I just got done recompiling with tons of free space on all my file systems.
There were no complaints on the console, and no complaints from any of the
"make" commands.  However, the named binary still exhibits the same
symptoms.  Namely, if I try to start it with a "type hint" entry in my
named.conf file, named immediately coredumps and dies.  If I delete the
hint entry, then named starts.  So, I guess I'll report it as a bug and
give up for now.

Thanks to all for their suggestions (and of course if anyone has any
others, I'd be willing to entertain them, though I'm really frustrated with
the whole thing by now).

QUITE possible that your binary got corrupted because of the lack of
space in /usr?  Try re-compiling the whole thing [with much more free
space in all file systems].  Watch for any "out of space" console
messages.  Compare the result with the binaries that you have right now.
