No, not at all. Threaded works fine--I use it myself. It's just a little touchy about file permissions. On linux, I'm given to understand, a multi-threaded application can't relinquish its root privileges and then get them back later if it needs to open a file--which named currently assumes it will be able to do. So if things aren't set up quite right, a threaded linux build of named can fail to open the pidfile or the session key file or something, and exit during startup. Since that's likely to be a confusing sort of error for a naive user to cope with, the default build configuration dodges the problem, by building single-threaded.
So this affects dnssec-signzone too by turning it single threaded? So far, I've always seen that use threads on Linux? Or is only named built wih single-thread?
