3.1.3 fixes a remote code execution vulnerability if spamd is run with the
"--vpopmail" and "-P" options.  If either/both of those options are not
used, there is no vulnerability.  There was also a fix for the userstate
directory and prefs file not being created.

Changelog:

- bug 4926: given a certain set of parameters to spamd and a specially
  formatted input message, users could cause spamd to execute arbitrary
  commands as the spamd user
- bug 4932: the userstate dir and userprefs file would not be created
  under certain conditions.
