Something seems wrong there. Have you actually verified that?
Either the shell should exit when named puts itself in the background,
or you should use "exec".
Regarding aeneas et al, what does named do if it grows too large
because of incoming requests (rather than because of a database being
loaded)? If it dies in that case also, then perhaps we always want it
capable of growing as large as possible. If it's smart enough to be
able to do some sort of gc, keeping the limit smaller may be wise.
