I've never had such a problem restarting bind9. What was your bug number?

Of course bind9 restarts are relatively infrequent. One normally reloads.

Unfiled. Does that mean it didn't happen to me?

It probably does mean, it was not relevant to you, at least not sufficiently relevant to file a bug ;~)

Well, I had a lot of problems with sysv-init, too (and never filed a bug about it).

Hah. You're lucky.

I had once to go to our datacenter at about 3am to power-cycle a server because freaking bind9 hanged during the restart after the sshd was killed. There was due to a bug which manifested only if dnssec signing and validation was enabled (which still is not usual) so maintainers missed it.
