>Description:
	Net::Server makes false assumptions about the return code of
	setuid() when run with newer Perl versions (e.g. 5.8.0)
>How-To-Repeat:
	Install lang/perl5.8, net/p5-Net-Server, try running a Server
	that drops privileges (i.e. Amavisd-New)
>Fix:
	See
		http://www.ijs.si/software/amavisd/#faq-net-server
		http://www.ijs.si/software/amavisd/net-server.patch

	I'd appreciate including the latter patch in the port by default

Thanks,
Patrick
