Then you still need to find out why it is dying.

Suggestion: after restarting bind, find out its process id then in a
separate window run:

# strace -p <pid>

This will show you all the syscalls it makes. When it dies, capture the last
screenful of output and post it here.

What _exact_ version of BIND are you running?
