Package: munin
Version: 1.2.3-3
Severity: minor

Recently a munin installation began spitting out tons of cron mail. This
time it was:
print() on closed filehandle STATS at /usr/share/munin/munin-graph line 1125.
print() on closed filehandle STATS at /usr/share/munin/munin-graph line 1125.
print() on closed filehandle STATS at /usr/share/munin/munin-graph line 1125.
print() on closed filehandle STATS at /usr/share/munin/munin-graph line 396.
.. and the like, over and over. Line numbers are from 1.2.3-1. 

I found out that /var/lib/munin/ had changed ownership to root.root
during some changes and I believe munin apparently could no longer
create the tmp files on it.

unless ($skip_stats)
{
  open (STATS,">$config->{dbdir}/munin-graph.stats.tmp") or logger("Unable to 
open $config->{dbdir}/munin-graph.stats.tmp");
}

The entry really does appear in munin logs (from whence even logcheck
won't pull it by default) and does not enter the cron output. This leads
to somewhat baffling a situation, but it doesn't seem too hard to dig
out more detail.

Just an odd situation that causes odd behaviour. Thought I'd report it
if someone wants to improve the error reporting in these kind of cases.
