Minor errors on boot

When my 64-bit Centos5 machine boots up, I see the following messages:
process `rndc' is using obsolete setsockopt SO_BSDCOMPAT
process `named' is using obsolete setsockopt SO_BSDCOMPAT

But named starts and works fine. I'm using BIND 9.4.1p1. The only option I
used when compiling was --with-openssl.

Here's my startup script, if it helps. I've been carrying this same script
through multiple versions making changes as required. If someone has a more
up-to-date one that would be great to see. Note that named is chrooted in
the directory /var/named (so dbs are in /var/named/var/named):
#!/bin/sh
