Package: prayer Version: 1.3.4-dfsg1-1 Several days after I purged prayer, my server crashed hard (kernel stacktrace). Picking up the pieces, I found this in /var/log/mail.err:

I cannot say for sure that this caused the crash but clearly, the session process has been left alive while the log directory has been pulled from under it by the purge.
