I saw lots of references to this on Google.  Is your machine up2date?
Kernel, vmalloc, etc?  Are you loading any drivers that you don't need
to such as sound?

Subject: Weird error in log after installing MailScanner


Hi!

I am getting this weird error in /var/log/messages since installing
MailScanner 4.11-1.  Also, MailScanner really hogs the cpu, and
eventually the host runs out of memory and MailScanner dies (or is
killed).  Here's the error:

Any thoughts as to why this is happening?

Thanks!
