Since upgrading to dev-perl/Date-Calc-6.0, psad kept crashing and restarting. Running it in a terminal with --debug crashed with the message Date::Calc::Decode_Month(): argument is not a string at /usr/sbin/psad line 1100, <FWDATA> line 2. as soon as the firewall passed it a blocked packet. This happened every time I re-ran psad. After downgrading to dev-perl/Date-Calc-5.8 psad works correctly again. # emerge --info Portage 2.2_rc44 (default/linux/x86/10.0/desktop, gcc-4.4.1, glibc-2.10.1-r0, 2.6.32-rc3-00337-gbd38193 i686)

This is fixed in version 2.1.6 and 2.1.7 of psad.
Bryan, can we stabilize net-firewall/psad-2.1.7 to fix this bug?
Fixed
