   I'm running -current on i386 as of today. Since I
built the system today (using build.sh) postfix stopped
working.  Whenever I start postfix, I get the following
in /var/log/maillog:

Feb 10 20:51:28 ceti postfix-script: starting the Postfix mail system

   I poked around a bit with ktrace and found that while
the master process appears to have no problems creating
various unix domain sockets (such as "public/cleanup"),
none of the other programs seem to be able to connect to
those sockets.

   Replacing the -current postfix binaries with the
binaries from the 1.5.2 distribution makes everything
work fine again!

   Any ideas?

   Cheers
