Master daemon freezes and is unable to spawn any new processes.

After a 1000s delay, master bails out, so the problem started 16 minutes
and 40 seconds before 14:10:56, i.e at 13:53:16.

The queue manager was also frozen. What happened at ~13:53 ???

The master received no events for 1000 seconds, do you have a 60 second
wakeup timer for pickup in the master.cf? Or a 300s timer for qmgr?

Perhaps the O/S incorrectly reports a full qmgr FIFO as being ready,
and then master blocks trying to write a wakekup trigger (one byte)
to the fifo? But that still leaves the question as to why qmgr is
frozen open...

This looks like an O/S resource issue...
