Oh great!

This looks similar to pthread_mutex_destroy() hang in FreeBSD7 reported
last year, same umtxn state.  Bit of searching revealed no workaround.
When did you last update your freebsd; may be different in 7-STABLE
versus 7-CURRENT; or cvsup... ?

If you cannot get (I assume this is a pthread problem) it fixed, one
workaround is to compile unbound, configure --without-pthreads .  It
uses 4x as much memory as before, but doesn't call
pthread_mutex_destroy() anymore...

You can solve this using interface-automatic yes, but also with:
	interface: 91.198.156.20
	interface: 91.198.156.8
This sort of problem happens when you have aliases on the interface; the
problem is that it is hard to tell the kernel where to reply from (apart
from weird socket options(interface-automatic) or different sockets (the
above config)).

nice.
