I've seen this, long ago, when the tmp directory permissions were wrong.
The usual drwxr-xr-x directory defaults don't suit, sticky permissions
were needed.
i.e. drwxrwxrwt 221 root root 20480 2011-06-28 09:23 tmp
You could see if that were still the case.

Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored. I
read messages from the public lists.
