Thank you, Fedon.

You can find the PPA here:

https://launchpad.net/~sergiodj/+archive/ubuntu/bind9-lp1970252

You just have to add it to the system, run apt-get update and then
upgrade the packages.

Yes, unfortunately bind9 9.18.1 has several problems with dig/host and
upstream is still addressing everything. For example, the build you
will find in the PPA above contains patches to fix the problem you've
reported, but you can still make dig crash if you something like:

  $ dig google.com +nssearch +tcp

I'm following upstream's progress closely, but I'm afraid it will take a
little bit of time until we can solve everything.

Thanks,
