for starters thats an old version, perhaps obtain the a latest source
for v9.5 it is  9.5.1-p2 and try that.
You can build and run bind manually from the build directory (this means
dont do make install and you can still keep your existing hacked ubuntu
version to eliminate it as a cause), if after a while you think its all
good, then remove ubuntus bind and then issue make install (backup your
named.,conf and zone files, as who knows what ubuntu will do when you
issue apt-get remove
