upgrading BIND 921 to 932

[simon church]

there were no errors in the event log, when running nslookup. however I did notice an application error relating to the specific zone "Bad owner name (check-names)". Any idea why that should come up? I tried other test zones and they are working fine. For some reason the upgrade does not like this particular zone file? I did recreate the file but it did not make any difference.
