In general, assume that the parent README is right. The subsidiary
README's are primarially used when running the programs in standalone
mode. This will be fixed before 1.93 ships hopefully.

Fixed in 1.93 thanks to a patch from volf@eb.ele.tue.nl (Frank Volf).

I'll add it.

Yeah, its a bug. Look for a line that says:
unlink("/tmp/resend.$$.*");
and change it to read:
unlink(</tmp/resend.$$.*>);
I forgot the angle brackets and that prevnets the glob from happening.
