I can reproduce this by doing the following:

1 setup an NSD instance with a zone
2 run the following script:
        while true; do
                kill -HUP $NSD_PID & kill -HUP $NSD_PID
                echo "KILL $NSD_PID"
                sleep 1
        done
3 wait

So it looks to be happening when NSD is in the NSD_RELOAD state and
then receives /another/ SIG_HUP. (This is also on Linux btw).
