D'oh ... I didn't even think of that (and I should have).
It appears to have been a file ownership problem with some files in
/usr/local/etc/named ... but it's weird. First of all, all files in there
were group and world readable. Why is 9.12+ now suddenly so grumpy about
who owns the files? Is this a recent fix to reduce the attack surface
on files owned by root?
