named down, seg fault?

[ZionAhead]

-bash-3.00# service named restart
Stopping named: [ OK ]
Starting named: /etc/init.d/named: line 46: 14206 Segmentation fault

there are several possibilities:
1) server is compromised and some binaries are replaced or infected
2) hardware failing or disk is corrupted
3) if it is Virtuozzo Container -- probably there is not enough resources for named to start
anyway, looking into /var/log/messages, dmesg and tracing the process with 'strace' (strace -f -v -s1024 -o strace.log /etc/init.d/named start) would be a good idea.

Good luck.
