100% CPU load. Perl module problem?

[Glenn Steen]

I'm out with some kind of cold/flu, so not as ... on-toe as usual, sorry.
Having said that, you need do some serious diging, to get a grip on what is
going on... Listen to Steves excellent suggestions!
Easy things you can do is disable different things (sa, sophos...) and see
if it makes any difference.

Cheers

if I'm using things like ps, top or htop that only shows up things like

Nothing more.

The logfile doesn't tell anything useful

The sa cache seems to be ok but I found a hint, that there is a problem
with perl and the actual installed and used Spamassassin-Version. I'll
habe a look at that. Maybe this is the problem ...

I'll test your other suggestions after that if it is still necessary.
