named won't restart

[Stacey Jonathan Marshall]

What does /etc/init.d/named do when you run it with the restart option?
That file is not part of the BIND distribution and is likely a shell 
script so take a look and see what's its attempting to do.
I wonder if its running 'rndc stop' and not waiting for the process to 
finish up before trying to start named again.

We had similar issues when trying to convert Solaris operating 
environment RC script to SMF and alas had to resort to old signals 
(kill) to have named shut down reliably within a given time.  I should 
point out the at a 'stop' request causes named to shut down in an 
orderly fashion completing certain tasks, for some configurations that 
could take too much time.
