net-dns/pdns-recursor-3.1.4 is seemingly having problem to recreate the forked childs and therefore start while using dev-libs/boost-1.34.1-r1 library. Older versions of dev-libs/boost or even pdns-recursor downgrade might solve the issue. ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86 x86" is stated in /etc/make.conf Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge pdns-recursor 2. /usr/sbin/pdns_recursor Actual Results: pdns-recursor is NOT running Expected Results: pdns-recursor should be shown in process listing
emerge --info please.

Pdns-recursor stopped working here at some point in the past; I suspect when I upgraded to glibc-2.7. We traced it to the stack allocation. The recursor by default allocated 200k for its stack, but now needs more. The recommended setting is: stack-size=300000 in /etc/powerdns/recursor.conf if you are seeing the same issue.
