Question on BlackHole DNS

I have two servers which have been upgraded to BIND 9.3.1. 
Both have 
similar named.conf configurations.  They are running
different versions 
of Mandriva (one is 10.1 and the other one is 2006).

On server starts up easily with the startup taking less than
20 seconds.

The older server is running a 2.4 kernel and does not
completed (at 
least not while monitoring the syslog) in less than 5
minutes. 

Any ideas what is going on?

The Configurations are identical.

The load average is under one (< 1.0), which I consider
normal

I have to kill the named process in order to get control
back.  If I 
comment out the include line for the BlackHole list, named
appears to 
operate normally.

Any suggestions?
