Sounds like the IP for L changed some time vaguely recently, and
then you restarted named.

I have the same old IP address in my root.cache, but I haven't
bounced named recently, so I'm not seeing those messages (yet).

http://www.google.com/search?q=l.root-servers.net+ip+change confirms
from a wide variety of reliable sources that the address change is
legit. The change took place on 1 November (with ample warning,
assuming you bother to read IETF publications).
