#363 amavisd child loops
I'm running amavis 2.3.2 on a redhat AS4 update 1
system. The MTA is postfix: 2.2.5.
My system runs amavis with max_servers=10
Problem is after several hours one or more amavis childs
hangs/loops.

strace shows me that the process is in a loop
If I don't kill this process amavisd (master) can't fork
and die. This is because the looping childs grows on
and each of them claims huge of mem.
If I kill this processes the system is running fine.
