There are some OS where named can't enumerate the IPv6 interfaces
usually due to stupid OS hacks which means the listen-on-v6 ACL
above has nothing to match against.  What was wrong with providing
this information via the socket interface?  Why put it in the
filesystem which then has to be duplicated when you are running
chroot'd?

That said this isn't the issue here as the process was bound on the
IPv6 UDP port.  I suspect a accept() failure caused named to close
the socket or something else was listening on the TCP port when
named was started or ...
