I want to share my experience of handling this problem.
My Linux machine is Redhat 7.1 on Pentium!!! 933, with 256MB RAM.
I have seen in the mailing list that many user got this problem and
so do I.
I found that when I use the dash-trick patch with the qmail-ldap
(20010501), this annoying error message always appear when sending
mail.
However, when I try to change the compilation parameter at the file
"conf-cc" from "cc -O2" to just "cc" (without any optimization), such
error disappers from the maillog forever!
When I see the version of gcc by "gcc -v",
Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/2.96/specs
gcc version 2.96 20000731 (Red Hat Linux 7.1 2.96-81)
Oh!! Buggy gcc2.96!!!
Since RH7.1 is using gcc2.96 as it default compiler, I suspect that
the error Out_of_memory_in_qmail-lspawn is due to the buggy gcc2.96 .
It is fantastic and weird that removing the optimization will solve
the problem.
Hope my experience can help you.
