The name server probably crashed because the time of day on your
system got zapped and this screwed up the assertion checking in the
name server's even handler.

It's probably more important to find out why the clock got
zeroed. [This shouldn't be a name server problem since named doesn't
set the system date.] Good UNIX systems don't allow the clock to be
put back when the system is in multi-user mode and you should be
running NTP to keep the system clock sync'ed to the real time of day.

BTW, you should upgrade to 8.2.2P5, the current version. Or wait a few
weeks for 8.2.3.
