You need to apply something like this patch, which I applied in 
Red Hat bind-9.3.1's contrib/sdb/ldap/zone2ldap.c, @ line 200, in the 
main() function initialization code before any dns_*name or 
dns_db_create functions are called:

+
+  /* It is required to initialize the hash before dns_db_create in BIND 9 */
+  result = isc_hash_create(isc_ctx, NULL, DNS_NAME_MAXWIRE);
+  isc_result_check (result, "isc_hash_create");
+

I'll patch Red Hat's zonetodb.c today in bind-9.3.1-10 and you can pick it up
from there.
