getpwnam() is not thread-safe. I'm surprised unbound would use it.
Calling it from multiple threads can cause trouble, although I don't
know off-hand if it could cause this problem. As an experiment, you
might change it to getpwnam_r() and see it the problem persists.
Otherwise, adding errno to the log message might help. Be sure to zero
errno before calling getpwnam().
