Found the time to investigate more thoroughly. Powerdns is wanting a newline character at the end of the input. My guess is that it's enforcing an existing protocol, not changing it. The attached patch provides the newline and also adds the timeout to the pdns-server socket. (The previous patch applied it only to the recursor). The patch is against the git.tokkee.org source and does not include the patch from earlier in the bug report. Tested successfully all permutations of pdns-server 2.9.21.2-1 / pdns-server 2.9.22-1~bpo50+1 / pdns-recursor 3.1.7-1, default/specific collect commands, chroot/non-chroot. It should be noted that the recursor requires special attention if chrooted. Because it uses a datagram socket it must see the collectd socket at the same path that the collectd binary does. So, for instance if the pdns recursor is chrooted at /var/spool/pdns-recursor, then collectd's LocalSocket would be /var/spool/pdns-recursor/collectd.socket and you'd have symlinks to . named var, spool and pdns-recursor in the /var/spool/pdns-recursor directory. This can't be fixed cleanly without changes to pdns-recursor, and even their own rec_control program is broken when pdns-recursor is chrooted.
