It seems self-explanatory to me.  In the file primario/253.rev, there's an
SOA record that has refresh = 10800, retry=1209600, and expire=3600000.
The software developers recommend that a zone not expire until at least 10
retries have been performed, and these settings don't allow that.

BTW, usually people set retry to *less* than the refresh time.  When you
get an error performing a zone transfer, it often means that the
administrator is in the midst of changing something.  You then want to pick
up the changes quickly once the primary server comes back.
