Core dumps

Hello, I deployed a DLZ system for a client on RHEL.  This is the  
first time I have used RHEL, mostly sticking to other OS's.  I kept  
pretty good notes as I went along.

If I look in /var/named I am seeing a good deal or large core dump  
files.  Previously I saw these, but traced them to malformed mysql  
inputs to DLZ.  I do not believe that to be a issue anymore.

What can a core dump tell me to help trace this issue down and solve  
it?  Named is going deaf/dead for some reason, perhaps related, I need  
it to keep up.

Here is what I did to the RHEL to get where I am now:

uanme -r
2.6.18-128.el5

Remove outdated stuff
"yum remove bind bind-chroot bind-libs bind-utils"

Unable to build from source due to openSSL issues I could not reconcile.

I went this route:
rpm -i http://people.redhat.com/atkac/bind/bind-9.6.0-2.P1.fc11.src.rpm
yum install libtool
yum install libcap-devel
yum install openldap-devel
yum install postgresql-devel
yum install rpmbuild

rpmbuild -bb /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/bind.spec

rpm -ivh /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/x86_64/bind-libs-9.6.0-2.P1.x86_64.rpm
rpm -ivh /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/x86_64/bind-9.6.0-2.P1.x86_64.rpm
rpm -ivh /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/x86_64/bind-utils-9.6.0-2.P1.x86_64.rpm
rpm -ivh /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/x86_64/bind-devel-9.6.0-2.P1.x86_64.rpm

rpm -ivh /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/x86_64/bind-sdb-9.6.0-2.P1.x86_64.rpm

edited /etc/sysconfig/named
copied /usr/share/doc/bind-9.3.4/sample/etc/* to /etc/
copied /usr/share/doc/bind-9.3.4/sample/var/* to /var/
edited /etc/named.conf

I did a few other things, configs, keygen etc, which I do not think  
are related.
