Follow up...

Whatever is causing this is related to some file in the mqueue.in
directory.  I renamed that directory and re-created an empty one and
MailScanner started up fine.  I had noticed that the directory had a
couple thousand files in it which is what prompted me to up the child
process count in the first place.  The is a K12 gateway machine and they
were being flooded with some k12 announcements.  I haven't yet figured
out which particular file(s) was causing this but at least the crisis is
over.

It gives one a disconcerting feeling when the gateway mail scanner won't
start and mail is pouring in.
