This is used as the base for relative paths in the rest of the config
file..

i.e. this makes it look in /var/named/tmp/tmp. (/var/named from the chroot;
/tmp from "directory"; ".../tmp" from "file").

Yes the sample config was slightly broken. Since there were no reports
between December (when this was introduced) until after 6.7 was released
I guess everybody running this in -current uses their own config rather
than the sample config so they didn't notice it.

I fixed this in -current last week by removing most of the sample config,
and I've just committed a change to -stable to add / for the various paths
which should show up in -stable packages in a day or so.
