All of a sudden today MailScanner stopped processing messages, it still 
recieved them but no processing, i did a restart a few hours later and 
the first thing in the log was as follows. I did upgrade from 4.38 to 
4.43 last friday, prior to this was runnning smooth as.

All ms.conf settings are defaults. Any ideas on whats causing this?
