Well, I never did solve this problem, and was just left with monit restarting dansguardian every morning.
In the meantime, I have setup a new AMD64 box running Debian sarge, and here dansguardian runs just fine. I no longer need it to run on my old box, so the problem is unsolved, but I am no longer affected by it. cheers, Simon -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
