Q: I have a BIND 9 master and a BIND 8.2.3 slave, and the master is
logging error messages like "notify to 10.0.0.1#53 failed: unexpected
end of input".  What's wrong?

A: This error message is caused by a known bug in BIND 8.2.3 and will
be fixed in 8.2.4.  It can be safely ignored - the notify has been
acted on by the slave despite the error message.
