Yes, please try this patch.
It's also included with other patches at
(f|ht)tp://greathan.apana.org.au/pub/nntpcache/nntpcache-1.0.1.patch
In particular, it includes Steiner Haug's fixes.
For the chdir problem, I simply removed the setGroup call in list.c because
that's the only place where the daemon actually sets CurrentDir and the daemon
is also the only one who chdirs without telling CurrentDir as far as I can
tell.
