Bingo.

  PID USER     PRI  NI  SIZE  RSS SHARE STAT %CPU %MEM   TIME COMMAND

Although this process tried to create $bayes_path/bayes.lock, in a tight 
 loop seemingly.

link("/var/spool/.spamassassin/bayes.lock.ka.27626", "/var/spool/.spamassassin/bayes.lock") = -1 EEXIST (File exists)
stat64("/var/spool/.spamassassin/bayes.lock.ka.27626", {st_dev=makedev(3, 8), st_ino=2856390, st_mode=S_IFREG|0600, st_nlink=1, st_uid=0, st_gid=8, st_blksize=4096, st_blocks=64, st_size=18, st_atime=2003/11/20-15:02:47, st_mtime=2003/11/20-15:02:48, st_ctime=2003/11/20-15:02:48}) = 0
stat64("/var/spool/.spamassassin/bayes.lock", {st_dev=makedev(3, 8), st_ino=2856386, st_mode=S_IFREG|0600, st_nlink=1, st_uid=0, st_gid=8, st_blksize=4096, st_blocks=8, st_size=9, st_atime=2003/11/20-14:56:34, st_mtime=2003/11/20-14:56:34, st_ctime=2003/11/20-14:56:34}) = 0
select(0, NULL, NULL, NULL, {1, 337297}) = 0 (Timeout)
write(8, "ka.27626\n", 9)               = 9
link("/var/spool/.spamassassin/bayes.lock.ka.27626", "/var/spool/.spamassassin/bayes.lock") = -1 EEXIST (File exists)
stat64("/var/spool/.spamassassin/bayes.lock.ka.27626", {st_dev=makedev(3, 8), st_ino=2856390, st_mode=S_IFREG|0600, st_nlink=1, st_uid=0, st_gid=8, st_blksize=4096, st_blocks=64, st_size=27, st_atime=2003/11/20-15:02:47, st_mtime=2003/11/20-15:02:50, st_ctime=2003/11/20-15:02:50}) = 0
stat64("/var/spool/.spamassassin/bayes.lock", {st_dev=makedev(3, 8), st_ino=2856386, st_mode=S_IFREG|0600, st_nlink=1, st_uid=0, st_gid=8, st_blksize=4096, st_blocks=8, st_size=9, st_atime=2003/11/20-14:56:34, st_mtime=2003/11/20-14:56:34, st_ctime=2003/11/20-14:56:34}) = 0

Any idea what could be causing this?

cheers,
