--- Comment #25 from Kip <[email protected]> ---
I'm not personalizing a constructive and valid criticism of spamc. To do so
would be an attitude problem, to wit Karsten. 

We all agree that Evolution is invoking spamc wrong. That's not the issue here
and we can take that up with Evolution's devs. The issue here is that that
would have been far more evident had spamc's error control governing its
interface been more robust and emit a more meaningful error message where, as
you say, a daemonized application ought. It is treating an empty "" parameter
to -U as an actual path to a socket file. If that was intentional by design,
the asserts on tp->socketpath, e.g. line 406, would have checked for
!strlen(tp->socketpath) as well as just to make sure it wasn't going to
dereference a NULL pointer.
