I'm having a strange problem with named on netbsd.

Running as a secondary, it properly copies the zone information from the
master, and creates a file in /etc/namedb as you would expect.

But the zone information does not appear to ever be refreshed!  Changing the
serial number on the master, and using kill -HUP allows the new information
to be seen with nslookup, but only when setting the nameserver to the master.

kill -HUP to the secondary named has no effect.  Stopping and restarting
named has no effect.  One must delete the zone copy in the /etc/namedb
directory in order for things to work again!

Any ideas?  I did pick up and compile the -current version last night.
Before I hack, has anyone else seen this?  Am I just an idiot?

The zone in question is bungi.com, for those that want to probe...
