2.1.80 breaks netscape and bind

Since upgrading from pre-2.1.80-4 to 2.1.80 this evening, I can no longer
run Netscape 4.04 and bind will not start up. Netscape will open but
exits immediately upon a mouse click in it's window. Here is the tail
end of a strace if it's of any value.

ioctl(8, FIONREAD, [0]) = 0
write(8, "F\0\5\0.\5\300\2\21\0\300\2\0\0\0"..., 652) = 652
ioctl(8, FIONREAD, [32]) = 0
read(8, "\34\0H\30/\5\300\2\332\0\0\0j\323"..., 32) = 32
gettimeofday({885354517, 355447}, NULL) = 0
gettimeofday({885354517, 355604}, NULL) = 0
ioctl(8, FIONREAD, [0]) = 0
ioctl(8, FIONREAD, [0]) = 0
gettimeofday({885354517, 356222}, NULL) = 0
read(6, "\372", 1) = 1
gettimeofday({885354517, 356573}, NULL) = 0
oldselect(22, [5 6 9 21], [20], [5 20], {0, 0} <unfinished ...>
+++ killed by SIGSEGV +++

Bind gives the following error on startup and exits.

named[412]: starting. named 4.9.6-REL Thu Nov 6 23:29:57 EST 1997

Here is its strace.

sigaction(SIGHUP, {0x8057780, [], 0}, NULL) = 0
sigaction(SIGWINCH, {0x80579a0, [], 0}, NULL) = 0
time(NULL) = 885355478
ioctl(20, SIOCGIFCONF, 0xbfff74d8) = -1 EINVAL (Invalid argument)
time([885355478]) = 885355478
getpid() = 746
sigaction(SIGPIPE, {0x4007bb60, [], 0}, {SIG_DFL}) = 0
send(3, "<27>Jan 20 22:04:38 named[746]: "..., 88, 0) = 88
sigaction(SIGPIPE, {SIG_DFL}, NULL) = 0
_exit(1) = ?

This is on a relatively stock Redhat 5.0 system. Dropping back to
pre-2.1.80-4 or 2.1.79 and everything returns to normal.

Thanks,
