Works for me.  In window 1, I did the following as root:

→ # ./server/maradns --version
This is MaraDNS version 1.3.07.09
Compiled on a Linux system at mar may 18 16:40:45 CDT 2010
For usage information, 'man maradns'
→ # ./server/maradns

To not display this message, add the follwing to your mararc file:

hide_disclaimer = "YES"

 Log: Root directory changed
 Log: Binding to address 127.0.0.4
 Log: Socket opened on UDP port 53
 Log: Root privileges dropped
Processing zone example.com. right now.
Filename: db.simple
MaraDNS proudly serves you 8 DNS records

And, in window two:

→ $ cat /etc/mararc
csv2 = {}
csv2["example.com."] = "db.simple"
ipv4_bind_addresses = "127.0.0.4"
chroot_dir = "/etc/maradns"

To make this more readable, lines where I entered commands at the
shell prompt are marked with → at the beginning of the line.

So, if you want to see this fixed: Come up with the simplest mararc +
zone file combination that reproduces the problem.  Once you do this,
post the mararc and zone file to the list, ideally not as an
attachment.

Note: I do not answer MaraDNS (including Deadwood) support requests
sent by private email without being compensated for my time. A MaraDNS
support request is any and all discussion you may wish to have about
MaraDNS in private email; if you want to email me to talk about
MaraDNS then, yes, that is a support request. I will discuss rates if
you want this kind of support. Thank you for your understanding.

MaraDNS security vulnerability reports, however, will be dealt with
without charge and kept confidential. If you don't know what Bugtraq
is, then, no, your email is not a security report. It is not a
security report unless you've done due diligence to determine how the
security bug you think you found can reasonably be exploited.
