Hi Sam.

Ok, so you did a similar test using steps that I've provided, and it
runs correctly.

This is cool! -- So this points to "user" err, or something weird...

If I may, are you running everything as user 'foo' or 'root'?
Are you running everything in the same term window/process?

And, can I ask if you can post the relevant section of your config
file that pertains to the github issue?

I'll rerun the "test" I've been doing, and post the steps/results. I'm
doing this both with fed as well as ubuntu to see if there's any
weirdness.

Thanks for your posts on this!
