Hi Steve -

I've applied this patch, but I don't currently have a Gentoo system to
test it out.  Here is a link to psad-2.1.5-pre1 that hopefully fixes the
problem (and I've credited you with the fix).

http://www.cipherdyne.org/psad/download/psad-2.1.5-pre1.tar.gz

If you have a spare moment to test it out, please let me know if there
are any issues.

Thanks,

--Mike
