How is this related?  UPGRADE says:

* tmda-ofmipd now forks into the background by default. Use the
  ``--foreground'' option to retain the old behavior.

So, if it doesn't work with svscan now (with -f), it didn't before,
right?

See the -users archives for discussion on svscan and tmda-ofmipd.
Andrew St. Jean has a HOWTO which shows how he made it work.  That
said, there is no consensus on how to make it work.  It works
perfectly for some, and others can't make it work at all (even
following the same instructions, etc.).

Personally, I've *never* liked daemontools/svscan.  I always found it
non-intuitive, and difficult to setup/configure, with unpredictable
behavior.  I avoid it whenever I can.  YMMV.
