I asked:

And the solution is:
Apply the following patch;
Patch-ID# 102479-01
Synopsis: SunOS 5.4: memory leak/mismanagement in in.named
BugId's fixed with this patch: 1178808
-OR-
Don't use Sun's named.
bind 4.9.3 beta 17 was the latest version of named that I know was working.
ftp://ftp.vix.com/pub/bind/testing/bind-4.9.3-BETA26.tar.gz
is current.
Be careful of the install as it overwrites several /usr/include files that
will no longer work under solaris 2.x systems.
