hi Per --
I've simply run out of bandwidth to help with this right now :( but you're on
the right track, I think. there's a possibility that some code run from a
signal handler (search for $SIG{CHLD} usage in spamd) is updating a data
structure which then isn't being read correctly from the "main thread". we've
had a bug like that before....
