I've got two RHEL 8 servers where named-pkcs11 aborts with an assertion failure after
upgrading bind to version 32:9.11.36-11.el8_9.1.

```
Downgrading to 9.11.36-11.el8_9.x86_64 fixes the problem.
Here's the stack trace from 'coredumpctl info named-pkcs11':

I can open a Jira, attach coredumps, etc. next week if needed.
