You're right, it is frustrating.

If nobody picks up your problem and offer a solution, maybe that's because
they simply don't know enough about the problem or haven't yet found a
reasonable explanation for it. Whatever the problem is, complaining about it
won't help a lot.

As for your particular problem, I downloaded and installed bind-8.2.3-0.6.x
weeks ago and it works like a charm for me. Now when you think about it,
wouldn't it be even more frustrating if the discussion went like this:

You:    Bind dies mysteriously after I updated it
x:    Well it works for me
x:    Yup, me too.
x:     Same here
x:    Maybe you did something wrong
x:    Yeah, check your documentation

IMO that would only make matters worse :-)
