This means that you may have indeed stumbled upon a genuine BIND bug. Six days is the default time-to-live on a zone NS record; this probably means that BIND crashed last time while either processing the record or building a reply packet for a client, and now, six days later, when the record expired, the resolver tried to look it up again, and crashed in the same way. Could you try to correlate the time of the crash with something either you or your users were doing? Or is that too much to ask? :) Do you have the ability (disk space, CPU utilization) to turn on BIND's query log and (possibly another six days from now) examine the queries issued around the time of the crash?
