hi,

i'm getting emails at a rate of 1 per minute (hmmm, about like that line
in crontab.in? ;) with the following message. i've run check_perms -f and
the system is clean. 

i know this has been addressed on the list before, but i've been unable to
find a solution that works. i'm not running python < 1.5.2, i did 'make
DIRSETGID=: install' as instructed, everything else works fine.

specific system info follows the message body:

*****

Any advice on this is welcome. If someone can confirm that this is a bug
(and not a configuration/permissions issue), I'd be happy to forward it to
the developers list too.
