When running the BIND 4.8.1 named from sutro.sfsu.edu with debugging
enabled (-d 9), named gives a Bus Error.  Named tries to reference
zp->z_origin in printzoneinfo(), space for which had not yet been allocated.

A diff to "ns_maint.c" follows:

260,264c260,263
< 	if (zp->z_origin)		/* Have we been allocated yet? */
< 		if (zp->z_origin[0] == '\0')
< 			fprintf(ddt,"origin ='.'");
< 		else
< 			fprintf(ddt,"origin ='%s'", zp->z_origin);

Just added a check to see if z_origin had been malloc'ed yet. Seems to
work fine now.
