SA Bugzilla – Bug 3385
spamd runs away

We caught spamd running away and eating all the CPU it could get for hours. I did not get a chance to see whether it was making system calls or not. I don't know how to reproduce the problem, either. Is this a known problem? Sorry for the lousy bug report, management made me do it.
Sorry, as you said, lousy bug report. ;) There was an issue fixed by 2.64 which could potentially cause the problem you're describing. I would try upgrading to 2.64 or waiting for 3.0 to come out, and see if the issue is reproducable then.
