SpamAssassin Hangup

[Mike Kercher]

Jul 15 07:54:43 www mailscanner[8204]: RBL Checks timed out and were killed
Jul 15 08:01:34 www mailscanner[8204]: SpamAssassin timed out and was killed

I get these all the time on a RAQ4.  All of my other RH 7.x machines work
fine.  ANyone know what could be causing this?  It's not DNS timeouts
because if I do a query to bl.spamcop.net, the result is returned
immediately.
