Hello,

I'm running qmail-1.03 with ucspi-tcp-0.88 and vpopmail-3.4.11-2
on Redhat 6.2. It's working well but sometimes it generates many
tcp.smtp.XXXX temporary files and qmail-pop3d began to say
"+ERR aack, child crashed". 

# ls -lg /etc/tcp.smtp*
-rw-rw-r--    1 root     root  256 Apr  6 17:23 /etc/tcp.smtp
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root    0 Mar 22 20:45 /etc/tcp.smtp.08exw4
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root    0 Mar 22 20:43 /etc/tcp.smtp.09HH8f
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root    0 Mar 22 20:46 /etc/tcp.smtp.0Luskq
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root    0 Mar 22 20:49 /etc/tcp.smtp.0NiDSa
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root    0 Mar 22 20:54 /etc/tcp.smtp.0jH5VR
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root    0 Mar 22 20:43 /etc/tcp.smtp.0mai00
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root    0 Mar 22 20:46 /etc/tcp.smtp.0v6lZQ
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root    0 Mar 22 20:54 /etc/tcp.smtp.12AAaG

At that moment, vpopmail clearopensmtp said the following error.

tcprules: fatal: unable to parse this line: xxx.xxx.213.61:alloAYCLIENT=""

Once I had this trouble, tcp.smtp.cdb has been corrupted and I always need to
do "tcprules tcp.smtp.cdb tcp.smtp.tmp < tcp.smtp". 

Is that a bug of clearopensmtp or vchkpwd on the version? 
(insufficient lock or mutex at some critical section?)

Is that also related to some vpopmail-3.4.11 problem as described below?

I'm just going to upgrade vpopmail to the lastest, 
but I'd like to know what really caused it before I will upgrade.
I would appreciate if someone would give me any advice.

Best Regards
