Mmm... I guess so, but I've never had any problems with qmHandle. I

Well, now that you say it, it's probably that. The thing is, I'm used
to use qmHandle to delete isolated double bounces and spam from the
queue without stopping qmail first, and I never had these problems.
Perhaps it's because, up to now, I had been doing this only from time to
time, and this was the first time that I was deleting from the queue in
a massive way. Oops...
