So it is related to a resolver, not named?

Paraphrasing, may i leave original 8.3.7-REL on its place
and everything's gonna be allright, or do i have to update
named? There will be no local users on this server. Just
a single named process serving customers' queries.

It seems to me your patch helped resolving NS RRs
of 194.in-addr.arpa zone, but i'm still having problems
contacting a particular site:

5:45pm phobos:src# dig 194.in-addr.arpa ns @ns.ripe.net

; <<>> DiG 8.3 <<>> 194.in-addr.arpa ns @ns.ripe.net
; (2 servers found)
;; res options: init recurs defnam dnsrch
;; res_nsend: Protocol not supported
5:45pm phobos:src#

I forgot to mention - i don't have any IPv6 interfaces.
