Apache SpamAssassin 3.4.0 release candidate 2 - invitation to testers

This is not a formal announcement, but an invitation to a broader
users community to try the release candidate of the coming release
of Apache SpamAssassin version 3.4.0 .

Preliminary release notes and a link to the package was published
in a posting to the dev@spamassassin.apache.org mailing list:

  http://article.gmane.org/gmane.mail.spam.spamassassin.devel/69001

The "call for votes" in the message only applies to project members,
but feedback from wider audience of testers is very much welcome.

The Mail-SpamAssassin-3.4.0-rc2 package is available at:

  http://people.apache.org/~kmcgrail/devel/

Rules may be downloaded from the same location, but this is rarely
necessary.  A normal procedure is to install the software (the usual
CPAN installation procedure should suffice, but this very much depends
on a platform of choice), then run a 'sa-update' command, which will
find and download appropriate rules to a version-specific directory.

Except for some minor details, the 3.4.0 is compatible with 3.3.2 in
its API and in database formats (but uses a separate directory to store
rules), so it should be possible to switch back and forth between both
versions in a test environment, if a need arises. Still, due diligence is
appropriate: have your backups ready before starting to play with
the new software, especially in a production environment.
Nevertheless, this version has been in production use at several sites
for months, so it should be at least as good as 3.3.2 .

It is expected that the final release will follow shortly, so a quick
response would be appreciated.

All but one of the errors seems to relate to spawning spamd.  I wonder if this is the same issue we have with freebsd on hudson/Jenkins with freebsd?

It is regularly in use on FreeBSD (7.2, 8.2, and 9.1),
it has been tested on OpenBSD 5.2, and some time ago
on NetBSD (forgot the version).

That would be handy. Please contact me privately.
Should I send a public ssh key?

2)  NetBSD, FreeBSD and OpenBSD are akin  so some testers 
might be available.

BSD/OS?  

Wikipedia:
 BSD/OS was acquired by Wind River Systems in April 2001.
 Wind River discontinued sales of BSD/OS at the end of 2003,
 with support terminated at the end of 2004.
   Working state: Discontinued
   Source model: source-available, proprietary
 For the open source Unix released by Bill Jolitz, see 386BSD
 386BSD: Latest stable release 1.0 / November 1994; 18 years ago


So how can we test on such platform?
