Maybe. But nevermind that Bug; it appears to be FreeBSD-specific, and I 
am using Linux (more specifically Debian, on amd64 architecture).

To clarify my context: I have an AD domain setup---currently working on 
Debian Bullseye (and Buster)---which consists of two Samba DCs that use 
the BIND9_DLZ backend for DNS. This setup is deployed in production and 
is functioning well at numerous sites in my organization right now.

Unfortunately, my "known good" Bullseye/Buster AD setup fails to work 
when applied to Bookworm servers. That specific failure is what I've 
been trying to describe in this thread so far (possibly not adequately, 
but I'm doing my best to answer all questions).

Ultimately, I would like to arrive at a fully-functioning Bookworm 
setup, since it is my organization's policy to run its systems on Debian 
Stable, and Bookworm is due to become Stable very soon (on June 10th, 
about 3 weeks from now).

Anyway, the requested configuration files are pasted inline below.
