Is anyone seeing BIND 9.3.4-P1 use all CPU time on 6.2-STABLE?



I have a 6.2-STABLE snapshot box from August that where named(8) is
going into what appears to be a tight loop calling gettimeofday(). It
is using all CPU time on the box. It seems to be answering queries
alright, just using a lot of CPU.

BIND 9.3.4-P1

FreeBSD 6.2-STABLE-200708 #0: Fri Aug 17 09:31:11 UTC 2007
root@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC

Timecounter "i8254" frequency 1193182 Hz quality 0
CPU: Pentium III/Pentium III Xeon/Celeron (596.92-MHz 686-class CPU)
Origin = "GenuineIntel" Id = 0x673 Stepping = 3

I noticed a mention of a change in gettimeofday() handling in the
release announcement for 9.3.4-P1, and am wondering if that may have
something to do with the problem.

1990. [bug] libbind: isc's override of broken gettimeofday()
implementions was not always effective.
[RT #15709]

It could be that I just need to scrap that machine...
