BIND 9.3.0 - UDP listen problem

Hello everybody,
I was earlier using BIND 9.2.3 when I decided to migrate to 9.3.0 and
the problems started.

The new nameserver (BIND 9.3.0) is not able to listen for UDP queries
and the same is reflected by the log messages.

when I start the nameserver by the following command:
named -c ./named.conf -g

The log messages on the terminal says:
"zone authors.bind/CH: could not find NS and/or SOA records"
"zone hostname.bind/CH: could not find NS and/or SOA records"
"zone version.bind/CH: could not find NS and/or SOA records"
"zone id.server/CH: could not find NS and/or SOA records"

and at the end it says:
"UDP client handler shutting down due to fatal receive error: invalid
file"

>From here, the nameserver remains in the running state but responds
only to queries sent on a TCP connection. I used the dig command to
query it, but the nameserver gives back the answers only when I specify
+tcp with dig.

It seems that there are new builtin zones in BIND 9.3.0 (authors.bind,
hostname.bind etc) which are creating problem as can be seen in the log
messages given below.

Has anyone faced this problem? Am I doing something wrong here?

Any suggestions, clarifications are most welcome.

Thanks in advance,
Nishant


The only zone I am loading is "myzone.com."

The complete nameserver startup log is:
