Fixed it -- thanks!! (Re: qmail-queue was killed?)

[Fred Backman]

Just for the record:
The problem with "qmail-queue was killed" turned out to be bogus permission
mode on the root directory (which somehow affected qmail-queue's access to
/dev/zero).

# ls -ld /
drwx---r-x  35 root     root        1536 Sep  4 08:47 //
should obviously have been
drwxr-xr-x  35 root     root        1536 Sep  4 08:47 //

Extra special thanks to Harald Hanche-Olsen for helping me! :-)

cheers
Fred
