Problem with spamassassin/sendmail

[Timothy Murphy]

spamassassin seems to have stopped performing on my desktop.
I am getting the following 2-line message in /var/log/maillog :
===============================================================
Oct 16 03:25:10 alfred sendmail[7341]: j9G2PAGa007341: 
        Milter (spamassassin): 
        local socket name /var/run/spamass.sock unsafe
Oct 16 03:25:10 alfred sendmail[7341]: j9G2PAGa007341: 
        Milter (spamassassin):
        to error state
===============================================================

I see I have the line
===============================================================
Xspamassassin, S=local:/var/run/spamass.sock,F=,T=C:15m;S:4m;R:4m;E:10m
===============================================================
in /etc/mail/sendmail.cf .

I'm running Fedora-4, with spamassassin-3.0.4-1.fc4
and spamass-milter-0.3.0-8.fc4 ,

Any and all suggestions gratefully received.
