Hi,

 |delegate/6.1.22 on Sparc/Solaris 7.

 |lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     other         24 Sep 22 09:00 cache ->
 |/mnt/temp/delegate-cache

A simple solution for a while is specifying the cache directry with
a full path like CACHEDIR="/mnt/temp/delegate-cache".
But I don't like to recommend using explicit CACHEDIR parameter, and
making cache directory be pointed from symbolic link under DGROOT is
a usual manner, so I'll support it in the next release (DeleGate/7.0.1)
like the enclosed patch.

Cheers,
Yutaka
