When listing the dictionnaries, a new file is created (with the current umask).
As result, when having umask=0077, the file is not readable by dictd.

To get rid of that, I declared DICTDCONF_MOD, which hold the chmod(1) argument.
If DICTDCONF_MOD is not defined, nothing more happens.

I'll attach the patch

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Make sure dictd is not running
2.# /etc/init.d/dictd start

Actual Results:  
 * Re-caching dependency info (mtimes differ)...
 * Starting dictd...
 * Scanning for dictionaries...
 * Done, 4 dictionary indexes found.
:E: /etc/dict/dictd.conf is not readable (config file)
/sbin/runscript.sh: line 532: 15986 Segmentation Fault  start-stop-daemon
--start --quiet --exec /usr/sbin/dictd -- $EARGS                               
                                                [ !! ]

Expected Results:  
 * Starting dictd...
 * Scanning for dictionaries...
 * Changing mod
 * Done, 4 dictionary indexes found.

Fixed in dictd-1.10.9.

BUIRA I'm dropping DICTDCONF_MOD from conf.d/dictd file and make initrc script
itself check and set correct permissions. If you still using dictd, please,
give dictd-1.10.11-r1.ebuild a try. Thank you.
