Very nice patch.  I'm running it on 3 nameservers with 300+ zones.

I just put a copy out on nic.near.net as /pub/bind.4.8.3.del.diff.
The only change I would make is if you run with LAME_DELEGATION defined,
then you may want to change the syslog call to LOG_INFO so that you can 
readily lose the messages via syslog. (it's LOG_NOTICE in the patch)
