Error in BIND 9.2.2, "rndc: recv failed"

I have SUN box, running 5.8, and BIND 9.2.2rc1, as my primary DNS server.

everything worked fine until this morning, when we changed the netmask of the machine because of network changes. After reboot, the "messages" file shows these errors when the reboot was run:
Aug 27 05:54:33 sundns named[155]: [ID 295310 daemon.error] /etc/named.conf:15:
syntax error near keys
Aug 27 05:54:33 sundns named[155]: [ID 295310 daemon.error] /etc/named.conf:16:
syntax error near '}'

/etc/named.conf was not changed at all.

now, when running "rndc reaload" or "rndc status" I get the error "rndc: recv failed: out of range".

"rndc" by itself reports the version as Version: 9.2.2rc1

the server accepts NSLOOKUP commands normally.

the backup DNS server, running same OS and BIND versions, went thru same netmask changes, has no problems.

any ideas ?
