As I understand it, this is caused by named being fed bad packets,
either by some form of automated attack, or crappy dns server that
named queried on its way to find out what you asked it for. Depending
on the verbosity of the named logs you keep, you could grep this out,
and look at the queries near it to see if there's a particular cause.
Or it may not be worth it to you.
