No. I actually just reproduced the problem with a completely empty /root: cd / mkdir root1 chmod go= root1 mv root root.old ; mv root1 root cd spamd (Should have done this before, sorry). > A normal startup of spamd (by sysvinit, Upstart, systemd, etc.) is what you > need to diagnose, not a manual startup from a login shell. None of those > normally should put the daemon in /root as a working directory. People restart services at runtime by calling init scripts. Those may or may not change the working directory. Mine did not (now they do). I don't think spamd should behave differently depending on the working directory (maybe depending on what's in it - but not depending on the working directory itself). > No, it's not a timing issue.

Yes I tried the 3.4 and the trunk checkout with the current Net::DNS before writing to the list. They both had problems with make test while 3.4.1 did not so I decided that downgrading Net::DNS would be safer.
