postscreen chroot problem with postfix-2.8-20110102-nonprod

Immediately after I upgraded to postfix-2.8-20110102-nonprod, I got
these errors when connecting to the smtp port:

Jan 2 11:10:23 mail postfix/postfix-script[638]: stopping the Postfix mail system
Jan 2 11:10:23 mail postfix/master[32086]: terminating on signal 15
Jan 2 11:10:25 mail postfix/postfix-script[737]: starting the Postfix mail system
Jan 2 11:10:25 mail postfix/master[738]: daemon started -- version 2.8-20110102-nonprod, configuration /etc/postfix
Jan 2 11:10:25 mail postfix/postscreen[741]: fatal: open /etc/postfix/smtpd_discard_ehlo_keyword.cidr: No such file or directory
Jan 2 11:10:26 mail postfix/master[738]: warning: process /usr/libexec/postfix/postscreen pid 741 exit status 1
Jan 2 11:10:26 mail postfix/master[738]: warning: /usr/libexec/postfix/postscreen: bad command startup -- throttling

But:
# ls -l /etc/postfix/smtpd_discard_ehlo_keyword.cidr
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 164 7. Sep 09:53 /etc/postfix/smtpd_discard_ehlo_keyword.cidr

Once I'm turning off chroot for postscreen, everything is working
again.

Previously, I've been using postfix-2.8-20101224-nonprod without any
problems.
