I know that there were earlier fixes to prevent buffer overrruns.
My impression, based on ISC's statements, is that more were required
after that time. Have you done a diff between 8.2.6 and 8.3.3?

I want to run a BIND 9 server, because it will protect vulnerable
machines and apps behind it. But it looks as if I'll need to get
libbind out of 8.3.3, too, unless there's a new release of BIND 9
that includes it.
