I have installed the patch along with -P2 on our hidden master.
Before I installed the patch I tried "rndc dumpdb", but BIND did
not crash. I assume that the records in the cache on a hidden master
are not the type of records that cause a crash. I will install it
on our other DNS servers later this week.
