URGENT, PLEASE READ: 9.5.0-P1 now available

[Emery Rudolph]

Thank you for your response. I will await further details on newer versions
that more fully address this issue.
By failure I am referring to the random crashes others have reported with
other errors such as "bad file handle" errors as opposed to the "too many
open" error.

I guess I'm looking for feedback on what you have seen in reference to a
crashes and the too many open errors. Is there any pattern to the type of
system (resource availability) and crashes. The nameservers I am running
handle about 1100 queries a minute, but only offer recursion to internal
clients.
