Perhaps I'm missing something very obvious here, but I can't get
start-stop-daemon to properly daemonize my program:

start-stop-daemon --start \
        --background --chuid nobody:daemon \
        --chroot /chroot/mattows \
        --make-pidfile --pidfile /mattows.pid \
        --exec /mattows 192.168.0.5 8080

start-stop-daemon tries to stat() /mattows and fails of course, as it
has to be a chroot-relative path, otherwise it will fail later when
actually trying to start the program.
This seems to be similar to this bug reported in 2002:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-dpkg/2002/04/msg00090.html
But someone must have been using this already, right?

cheers!
        Matthias
