[Unbound-users] Unbound v1.0.2 stopping - DNSSEC enabled

Hello,

We have been testing a resolver running Unbound 1.0.2 with DNSSEC
enabled in order to evaluate the server in a production environment.

The Unbound application would routinely stop every few hours when not
under heavy load.  We turned up verbosity to level 3 in the config file,
but the only information written to syslog was the following message:

Oct  3 20:10:28 <hostname> unbound: [27453:0] info: service stopped
(unbound 1.0.2).

We enabled DNSSEC and installed  5 trust anchors and many different keys
to test using the trusted-keys format.  The server was also configured
in a chroot environment.  We did not enable IPv6 on the server.

Here is the configuration we were testing with.  Any comments would be
most appreciated:

        interface: 0.0.0.0
        port: 53
        # interface: ::0
