You might have better luck running BIND on a "native" platform.

All the un*x alternatives runs BIND better, and many of them has a lot
cheaper licensing costs too ( not to speak about "cost of ownership") 

The above error seems to be a resource shortage in the OS itself. Thus my
suggestion to switch to a more programmable OS.
