That's the "runaway process."

# strace -f -p 28702
Process 28702 attached - interrupt to quit

That's all it does. I never see anything else. It then continues to chew
up both processors untill I killall and restart spamd. If I kill just
that PID, another spamd PID takes over and uses 100% cpu.

About the only thing I can do is run a cron script that kills all of
spamd and restarts it. However, that is a VERY ugly fix :)

Thanks.
