Well the only occurrence of "foobar" in both libherdstat and herdstat is in one of the libherdstat tests so I have no clue where that is coming from.

I'm not able to reproduce here.  Can you get at it with gdb or something?

Found the cause. herdstat seems to be using my wget wrapper script in /usr/lib/portage/bin that outputs foobar when it is used. I improved the message so that I won't get fooled like this again. Sorry about the noise.
