The problem was that ypserv has been running (for years) with the -d
option. As several of the below pointed out, the man page says that -d
is for DNS, but is actually a debug option. After killing ypserv and
restarting without -d the messages have stopped. This does leave
unanswered what had suddenly caused all of the messages after all these
years, but that is a question for another day. There was also a
suggestion to check named to see if it was running with the debug
options set; it wasn't.
