I'm using Smail3.1.29.1 #29.37 from the debian
package install, and having nothing but problems.
Ignoring the earlier file locking trouble, I'm now
discovering that for some reason, the following
occurs:
/USR/SBIN/CRON is spawned
runq is called
runq goes zombie
cron goes zombie
The crontab for mail looks normal:
03,23,43 * * * * /usr/bin/runq
This rinses, lathers and repeats until the machine
is crippled. Another oddity is that calling 'runq'
outside of cron results in the creation of /two/
runq processes. Anyone come across this behaviour?
