Hm...  Can you put me as a watcher or something on the bug?  We were
about to roll 6.0.4, but if there's something else we can catch, I'ld
like to get it in 6.0.4.

Unfortunately, recent linux (2.6) don't dump processes that are setuid,
setgid, or use various seteuid() type calls to play with process ids...

And guess what faxq, faxsend and faxgetty do ;-(  Unfortunately, since
they do, I don't know a way to get a backtrace/core dump except for
using GDB...
