PowerDNS continually dies after creating a slave zone

Issue When PowerDNS is configured for a sqlite or sqlite3 backend and a slave zone is added, the PowerDNS daemon continually dies and respawns. This loop persists until the daemon is forcibly terminated. My logs showed the following: Jul 29 12:12:38 localhost pdns[14465]: PowerDNS 2.9.22 (C) 2001-2009 PowerDNS.COM BV (Jul 29 2009, 04:47:43, gcc 4.3.3) starting up Jul 29 12:12:38 localhost pdns[14465]: PowerDNS comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY.
