I applied the patch and updated the Gentoo init script with the new -p
and -o changes, and now everything looks good. The two PID files are
located directly in /run and owned by root:root, while the two lock
files live in the spool directory and are owned by defang:defang.

The daemon starts/stops without issue.

Thanks once more for your help with this. I'll ask for a CVE assignment
in a moment, and then wait until the new version is released before
making an announcement for the distros.
