named shuts down

[Peter Rose]

i - 

Any help with this appreciated - 

I just noticed that my named process shut down for no reason I can
discern. (Although maybe I don't run a high enough logging level).

My log shows the usual NSTATS output up to the shutdown message,
followed by a couple of lines of stats thereafter, then the process
died.

Here is an extract from the log:

Jan 15 19:17:33 server named[22504]: XSTATS 979586253 978207452 RR=11196

How should I interpret this and should I be taking any special action to
prevent a re-occurrence (other than a shell script to check periodically
if named is running and restart if required)

Help to a novice appreciated.
