I run qmail-smtpd off supervise+tcpserver, and I've observed the problem
on this machine where after an indefinate number of deliveries qmail-smtpd
fails to spawn qmail-queue and so one connects to the smtp server but
don't get a greeting back from qmail-smtpd
the 'fix' is to stop supervise and restart it. -> the operating system
isn't releasing some sort of resource when processes die and supervise is
getting all stuck.
I tried tracing supervise and the spawned processes, but stopeed after the
problem wasn't reproducable. -> perhaps a complier/optimiser bug?
It doesn't happen often enough on this machine (linux kernel 2.0.35)+libc1
for me to be able to reproduce it. it soesn't happen at all on the machines
at work as far as I can see (solaris2.7/2.5.1).
