Apparently if you pass named the -S argument with anything above 128,
then it seems to work just fine (reserved-sockets in the config doesn't
seem to help).  I just ran into the same annoyance.  Try it out like 
so:  /usr/sbin/named -f -g -S 256

Not sure why this is happening other than the default limits not being 
honored and/or get botched by setrlimit() in there somewhere...

Hope that helps.
