Yes, there were a number of bugs fixed in the current version of BIND (4.5)
which relate to this problem.

The currently distributed version of BIND is 4.5, version 4.7 is going into
bata testing soon.  V4.6 had bigger problems then it fixed, so it was not 
released to the general public.  If you are on the DARPA net, BIND can be 
anonymous FTP'd from ucbarpa.Berkeley.edu, it's in pub/bind.tar or a compressed
version in pub/bind.tar.Z

There is also a copy sitting on ucbvax:~uucp/bind.tar and bind.tar.Z
which can be uucp'ed

The distribution is too large to send thru electronic mail.
