+GF/01 Bug 1715: Fix for race condition in exicyclog, where exim could attempt
+      to write to mainlog (or rejectlog, paniclog) in the window between file
+      creation and permissions/ownership being changed. Particularly affects
+      installations where exicyclog is run as root, rather than exim user;
+      result is that the running daemon panics and dies.
