Running FreeBSD 4.9
Sendmail 8.12.11
Just upgraded to MS 4.41.3 (latest stable release in FreeBSD ports tree)

This server has been running great for a year. However, i just recently
upgraded to MS 4.40.1 then MS 4.41.3. After upgrading, I have seen the
following messages appear in /var/log/messages:

May 20 12:00:23 mail jwilliams: Process did not exit cleanly, returned 9
with signal 0
May 20 12:01:24 mail jwilliams: Process did not exit cleanly, returned
255 with signal 0

May 20 12:16:29 mail jwilliams: Process did not exit cleanly, returned 9

May 20 12:18:40 mail jwilliams: Process did not exit cleanly, returned
255 with signal 0
May 20 12:20:39 mail last message repeated 2 times


At this point, im trying to narrow down what it is.
The first thing I did was stop mailscanner, and tail the message log,
trying to see if it would happen. I shutdown mailscanner for 10 minutes.
During that time, there were zero entries in my message logs. (I will
duplicate this test later this evening when traffic is lighter).

Right now, I think it could either be MS or my MTA (Sendmail.)

I'm still trying to find out additional information, but thought i'd ask
here, see if anyone had any suggestions?


I appreciate help.
