Bind 9.0.0 on Windows platforms..

[Hans K. Rosbach]

Would you mind sharing the source of 8.2.3?  I have som probs with
bind locking up, and grabbing 100% cpu after a few hours, maybe that
version will solve it.. (the one i'm running is 8.2.2-P5)

Any patch or never source would be great..  as long as i can compile it,
as i'm not great with even reading C code yet..
