Another 9.5.1b1upgrade issue (annoying but not a show stopper)

I'm upgrading for 9.3.4 (Fedora core distro version) to 9.5.1b1 from
source and I have a file permissions issue reading and writing the PID
file that does not exist for 9.3.4. I've seen a number of posting with
the problem but no posted solutions.
/var/run is owned by root and has permissions 755. In the folder,
/var/run/named is owned by the user "named" and has permissions 770, so
the daemon, which runs as user "named" should have no problem reading,
writing and deleting the PID file. But, unless I change the permission
to /var/run to 777 it fails to write the PID file and exits. The logic
of the permissions makes sense and it works with 9.3.4. Any idea why
it's failing with 9.5.1b1?
Thanks,
