too many children processes

[Brad White]

I see 10 processes, and they are all from the 4.0 binary.  It happens after a reboot, and I don't see anything in the init.d startup file that would start extra copies.

	I guess you have more than one instance of MailScanner running...
	ps -auxw --forest
	should hint you about it (maybe an old 3.x installation?)
	
	If whenever you reboot, you still get more MailScanner processes than
	expected, then
	grep -i mailscanner /etc/init.d/*
	may hint you about why it is starting at boot time
