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.
