"ROOTDIR=/var/named/chroot" wasn't there. As I said, it never was. It was never modified by me or bind, but ran ok until I upgraded from FC3 to FC4.
That line is normally added by the "bind-chroot" package. If that package is installed, then the line "ROOTDIR=/var/named/chroot" was definitely present when the service was working as expected. If you configured the chroot using some means other than installing the "bind-chroot" package, then the changes you made to configure the chroot were probably overwritten by the upgrade.
I put "ROOTDIR=/var/named/chroot" in the file and seems to work now. What action caused bind to over write /etc.sysconfig/named?
Look for rpmsave files which may help you understand what was modified: find /etc -name '*.rpmsave'
