+ This is a problem with a few versions of vacation on a few operating systems.
+ The problem is being addressed in the CVS HEAD branch by copying an actual
+ database file of the appropriate type into place rather than just copying an
+ empty file into place, based on a configuration option (the default still being
+ an empty file I believe).  At this time, the solutions are to upgrade to the CVS
+ HEAD version, or to modify the code yourself.  To modify it yourself, create a 
+ valid database file via "vacation -i" and copy it somewhere on your system 
+ accessible by the web server user.  Then modify the vacation source code and
+ replace any the references to /dev/null to point to the above file.
