Package: sa-exim
Version: 4.2-2
Severity: important
i've had no problems whatsoever with this, except recently.
the problem started with the -2 version. what happens is that at one
point spamd starts getting larger and larger and larger, evntually
taking up all the memory and driving the load up higher and higher,
until just about 20 minutes ago i had to use magic sysrq to recover from
it. also swapd (which i have installed) starts making swap files to
compensate:

i tried getting CVS, and i see the same behaviour there. my conf hadn't
changed since months. i've tried tweaking it, reducing system resources,
but nothing changes. the machine manages to kill itself.
as usual, i'll help debug this. i'll need help using gdb, not being used
to using it.
the kernel is grseced, FYI.
