To save state etc. properly the /var/spool/dnetc dir is used, but not created by the ebuild. This causes slow startup and makes it unable to request workunits properly. Creating the dir is good: # ls /var/spool/dnetc/ buff-in.og2 buff-in.r72 buff-out.og2 buff-out.r72 (And there seem to be new versions out, but not in sync - different versions for every platform)
