This is a kernel bug. Complain to your vendor. The OS is putting any
old garbage into the tv_usec field (number of microseconds) of the
timeval struct filled in by a call to gettimeofday(). BIND is
complaining when tv_usec is less than 0 or more than 1 million. These
values are clearly not meaningful.
