I can't risc to put back the 1.9.9 version I can just hope it is 
reproduceable on my testserver which has been upgraded today.
I only have a strace of mailq which then hangs while trying to access /dev/log
want me to send this? else if the error occours on the testserver I can 
do watever trace or test you need.
