bind9 @9.8.0_0 fails at startup with openssl error

[dlb@…]

I upgraded the bind9 port to 9.8.0_0. Now bind is failing at start up with the following error:

Mar  3 10:41:33 gw3 named[8220]: starting BIND 9.8.0 -f -t /etc/namedb -u named -c /etc/named.conf
Mar  3 10:41:33 gw3 named[8220]: built with '--prefix=/opt/local' '--mandir=/opt/local/share/man' '--with-openssl=/opt/local' '--with-libxml2=/opt/local' '--enable-threads' '--enable-ipv6' 'CC=/usr/bin/gcc-4.2' 'CFLAGS=-O2 -arch x86_64' 'LDFLAGS=-L/opt/local/lib -arch x86_64' 'CPPFLAGS=-I/opt/local/include' 'CXX=/usr/bin/g++-4.2' 'CXXFLAGS=-O2 -arch x86_64' 'FFLAGS=-O2 -m64'
Mar  3 10:41:33 gw3 named[8220]: initializing DST: openssl failure
Mar  3 10:41:33 gw3 named[8220]: exiting (due to fatal error)

I am and have been running bind in a chroot environment, but this might be the trigger for the problem in this release. Google turned up a Gentoo bug report of the same failure that says it is supposed a due to running in a chroot environment. Although supposedly it was fixed in 9.8.0_0 final. Here's the link:

Let me know if you need more info.

Sorry forgot to fill in the port field. Should be bind9.
