Here's a quick fix for greylistd Debian bug #375504.
The problem is that "expireKeys(now)" is performed every time a "check"
is requested. "expireKeys" uses a brute force algorithm to age out the
entries. This performs poorly with large lists and high query rates.
Sockets time out and/or the number of waiting sockets accumulate until
the process runs out of descriptors and crashes.
This change has minimal impact on the greylisting process. The list
entries will still be expired when they are periodically saved to disk.
An alternative fix would be to store sorted lists and process only the
entries that need to be expired.
