Thank you to ISC support email! (support at ism.isc.com)

I mailed this same message yesterday and got the answer today. The answer is
to increase the ulimit (which I suspected) Do this in /etc/default/login.
The ULIMIT=4096 line is now changed to ULIMIT=4096000 and it works fine. I
also got an acknowledgement of receipt of the other message, regarding the
compiler bug. I expect a reply soon. kudos.

Thanks guys.
