Argh. it appears that we didn't sufficiently test bug 5518 with Perl 5.6.1;
in particular, when used with the "-u" switch, the spamd children fail
to setuid, and immediately abort with:
spamd: setuid to uid 65534 failed
[3544] info: spamd: server successfully spawned child process, pid 3548
[3544] dbg: prefork: child 3548: entering state 0
[3544] dbg: prefork: new lowest idle kid: none
[3544] dbg: prefork: child 3548: just exited
the spamd server will immediately fork another child, and another, etc.
until killed. Obviously it cannot process requests, although it
will appear to be up to scripts that check "ps" or look at the
spamd log file.
I've written a test case for this.
