My current compile-install-configure-run environment is broken with 4.30.
Up to 4.29 stunnel is working ok for me. 4.30 compiles, installs but when running it (i simply start /opt/ssl/bin/stunnel) the behaviour is completely different. Up to version 4.29 the program simply starts and logs to syslog:

With 4.30 i get lots of messages to the console and stunnel does not fork into background - where is the magic to get the old behaviour with 4.30? At the end stunnel reports: daemon: No such file or directory (2)

That's interesting. I couldn't reproduce it.
Could you install strace tool and than execute: strace -f -o /tmp/stunnel.log /opt/ssl/bin/stunnel , and than send us the output of /tmp/stunnel.log?

Using a chroot + daemonizing seems to be the problem, creating /dev/null inside the chroot as a workaround seems to work. However, 4.26 (and probably other non-4.30 versions) worked without needing /dev/null inside the chroot.
Using CentOS 5.4, glibc 2.5 so the daemon() function is available.
There was also a problem with the pid file inside the chroot pointing to an invalid pid.
I've reordered the initalization methods in the below patch which fixes both daemonization and pid files being broken with chroots.

I think I found the solution: ftp://stunnel.mirt.net/stunnel/startup.patch
Also log file is now created within chrooted directory to allow log file rotation on SIGHUP, and also changing log file name without stopping stunnel.

There's still a problem, it now creates the pid file before daemonizing, which makes the pid file invalid.
