OK, this tightens the error a bit. So FC5 is OK, I know F7 is OK, and
FC6/i386 is OK, too. I wonder what broke FC6/x86_64. The ocaml is the
same version. hm. I'll check the mldonkey bug reports, maybe I'm
lucky.

That's the correct way to start it. But then root priviledges are
dropped by mlnet before it creates the folders. Or at least it should
work that way, and I remember it did some ages ago. Maybe there is a
regression here, too. :/
