I love my nanny :o) And I run her all days at least once, I also wrote a
nanny-plugin for our "proprietary" server management rpc thingy...

But nontheless I really dislike segfaulting processes, as they often
announce the next potential security hole :-( We are running each
mailfilter "cluster" component in it's very own virtual environment
(front mx, amavis, db, syslog server, relay mx...) - but even if
isolated:

   Segfaults are evil *grrr*

Cheers,
Thomas
