dying processes

[Craig Bates]

Hi Julian,

I have 23GB free on that partition.  So far we know that this problem has 
occured on RedHat 8.0 and FreeBSD 4.7, perl 5.005 and perl 5.8.0, with and 
without Razor, with and without SpamAssasin enabled in MailScanner.conf, with 
F-prot and ClamAV.

Does anybody else have any other information?

Craig
