I just edited the start script to fork start-stop-daemon to get
around this temporarily. The proper method would obviously be to 
remove  the symlink in /etc/rc?.d/

I had the same Problem with lenny/mipsle on my cobalt qube. Strace
shows that bind forks, but never reads any configuration files. One
or both of the process hang in a futex() call if I remember correctly.

I've downgraded to bind9 9.3.4-2etch4 from etch for now.
