well the logs aren't really spitting out any errors; they look like this
(and a lot of procmail backtraces from various peoples' mail delivery).
we do have a lot of people using procmail to filter their mail (probably
about 20 or so out of 40 users) and a bunch of people using spambouncer
(a bunch of procmail scripts) but the machine itself doesn't have that
many users, and the load did the same thing when less people were using
procmail and almost noone was using spambouncer.
