I solved it, thanks to help from the IRC ("twkm" suggested using
strace instead of gdb, and that worked great).
I then ran $(strace /usr/lib/YaST2/bin/y2base dns-server qt), which
pointed me to the log file /var/log/YaST2/y2log . I saved the last few
lines of this at [http://pastebin.com/f57015cb6].
The fix is to create /var/lib/YaST2/yast2-dns-server_reverse-zones
with the content
"""$[
]
"""
instead of having an empty file.
hope this helps someone in the future,

Sorry to "bump" a message, but could some please get back to me? Is there a verbose/debug option when starting YaST so I might figure out what the problem is?
Please tell me if this is the wrong list.
Thanks very much, Nicholas — ntung at ntung — https://ntung.com

I have a machine on which the YaST dns-server module is silently failing (no command line output is produced). Fortunately, the server seems to be working, I just can't configure it. I don't want to edit the DNS entries by hand, if possible. Any assistance would be much appreciated. The output on /var/log/messages when restarting named is here [1].
