Help: SpamAssassin timed out and was killed

Fri Dec 6 10:31:15 GMT 2002

SpamAssassin has timed out for every message sent to my test box this
morning...
I have it set to do no RBL checks, but do have razor installed.

Debian
Exim3.35-1/stable
Mailscanner3.26.1-1/testing
SpamAssassin2.43-1/testing
razor1.20-1/testing

tail of syslog after I rebooted (old windows habits die hard) and tried to
send a message through it
