BIND 8.4.6-REL is a security release of BIND 8.4.
It is possible to remotely trigger a overrun causing a
denial of service. If you are running BIND 8.4.4 or
BIND 8.4.5 you should upgrade.
Also:
1. Add ipv6 as a virtual category, since a key reason for the
BIND 8.4.x branch is IPv6 transport.
2. Download the PGP .asc files for the src and doc tarballs.
3. Add a new example file to PORTDOCS.

The reason for removing it is compatibility with Harti's work on updating make.

variable for replacing includes as well. Users who replaced the base
BIND and then attempted to compile other software with -D_REENTRANT
were having problems because netdb.h has a different definition for
h_errno.
The idea of replacing includes originated with users who wanted to
compile apps against the libbind installed by the port, however those
"power users" can either add the switch to replace includes, or modify
their own includes slightly to use the "safe" location for the port
include files (PREFIX/include/bind).
The PR mentions the problem, along with a cast of thousands. :)
Other tuneups for the port are just portlint appeasements.

The bug is not security related but triggers BIND to generate lots of
unnecessary additional queries under some circumstances with a
potential for operational impact.
BIND 8.4.4 will be available soon as a replacement.
