Are we sure it's not named-xfer procs? If not, please share how you
started bind - don't send the full script sent to the list, unless its 
very short. 

We need to know if you use an init script, maybe it's supervised (not 
likely a daemontools user would use BIND, but you never know ;), or a 
cron job. Sometimes people use scripts fired from cron to monitor 
processes, and the monitoring processes freak out and start daemons 
unnecessarily.

Please share all relevant data, we don't have enough to go on.

There's always the sysadmin's last resort - strace/truss.
