two messages repeatedly processed

I have three inbound mail servers with equal weighted MX values, all 
running MS/SA/DCC/Razor/RDJ/milter-greylist/ImageInfo on CentOS 4.4 
using sendmail 8.13.  The last of these three servers was upgraded about 
30 days ago, and all have been running great since then.  After getting 
in this morning (but prior to coffee), I checked out the Vispan web page 
on each server and noticed that one server had stats much different than 
the others.  To make a long story shorter, there were two messages in 
mqueue.in that appear to have been processed 1651 and 548 times (but not 
delivered) during a three hour stretch until I moved them out of the 
inbound queue.  Here's what was showing up in the maillog for one of the 
messages:

After about 30 minutes of this, it changed to (caused by SA cache purge?):

It proceeded with these messages for several more hours until I moved 
the message out of the inbound queue.  I still have the two message if 
that helps.  Should I just put one of the messages back in the queue and 
run MS in debug mode to see what's happening?
