Slackware 10.2/11.0: SSA:2009-015-01 Critical Bind Load Problem

Scroller Slackware
Revised bind packages for Slackware address an issue with kernel compatibility affecting versions 10.2 and 11.0.
Updated bind packages are available for Slackware 10.2 and 11.0 to address a load problem

Summary

Here are the details from the Slackware 11.0 ChangeLog: patches/packages/bind-9.3.6_P1-i486-2_slack11.0.tgz: Recompiled. The -1_slack11.0 package was compiled on a Slackware 11.0 system running a 2.6.x kernel, and this caused problems for machines running the default 2.4.33.3 kernel. This package should run correctly.

Where Find New Packages

HINT: Getting slow download speeds from ftp.slackware.com? Give slackware.osuosl.org a try. This is another primary FTP site for Slackware that can be considerably faster than downloading directly from ftp.slackware.com.
Thanks to the friendly folks at the OSU Open Source Lab (https://osuosl.org/) for donating additional FTP and rsync hosting to the Slackware project! :-)
Also see the "Get Slack" section on http://www.slackware.com/ for additional mirror sites near you.
