SA Bugzilla – Bug 5642
Server crash
Last modified: 2011-10-28 16:26:49 UTC
One of my servers freezed and crashed. There have been no other syslog messages than from spamd and xinetd (which I suppose to be related to spamd failure). 3.2.3 has been installed a few days before. In front of that update, everything worked fine. I'll post additional information if needed. spamd is invoked with: spamd -d -c -L These are the only messages that appeared: /var/log/warn: Sep 6 15:16:29 server spamd[22626]: prefork: sysread(9) failed after 300 secs at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.6/Mail/SpamAssassin/SpamdForkScaling.pm line 642.

It's another platform, but log entries look quite similar, although related to 3.1.8. btw: The link http://issues.apache.org/SpamAssassin/bugwritinghelp.html from the 'Enter Bug' intro text gives me a 404.
Sounds like failing hardware or memory constraints.
