(Apologies for following up to myself...)
I've just reread (ie read properly) the responses to my original
message. I wrote above "...I need to reformat my configuration
files"; this should probably say "...I need to rewrite my
configuration files so they are correct".
In short, I'd got the syntax of the SOA line incorrect; the old bind
was happy with it (although how it understood it, I don't know), but
the new bind interpreted it "properly" and rejected it.
