Daily BIND 9.2.3 crashes on AIX

Thank you. I have found the solution:

Quotation:
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
AIX APPLICATIONS AND -bmaxdata

AIX has information in an executable's header section that can limit
the amount of data that can be allocated during execution.  It is
controlled during the load step via the -bmaxdata option.

The default value of maxdata (-bmaxdata:0 or not included in the load
command) for 32-bit applications is 256 Mbytes.
The maximum allowed for 32-bit applications is 2 Gbytes.

The default value of maxdata for 64-bit applications is unlimited.

There are tools available which can be used to change the -bmaxdata value=

in the header after an application is built.  This is most often needed
when a 32-bit application was built without specifying -bmaxdata or when
a 64-bit application was built with unnecessary restrictions.  In
AIX 5.1 maintenance release 2 and later, the best method to make these
adjustments is to use /usr/ccs/bin/ldedit:

  ldedit -b maxdata=3D0x80000000/dsa a.out
