Hello,

	I'm having a problem with qmail-ldap, which I've posted before on the
qmail-ldap lists but have never had any response..  The problem only occurs
on FreeBSD machines (I've had a couple of Redhat Linux machines with the
same software which didn't display this behavior).

	Quite often, qmail-pop3d and qmail-local won't exit properly, and continue
running forever.  They continue putting a load on our NetApp NFS server, as
well as on the NFS clients.  Here is some output from top:

The qmail-local process writes the message succesfully..  This doesn't
happen for all deliveries or POP3 requests, only some, but they never exit
and I have to kill them off manually.

I am using FreeBSD 4.10-PRERELEASE and 4.9-STABLE (3 machines clustered, 2
using 4.9 1 using 4.10).  I have a Vpopmail installation on a seperate
cluster, using the same netapp filer and there is no problem with that setup
(also running 4.9-STABLE but from a different CVS).  I am using qmail 1.03
with qmail-ldap-1.03-20040401.patch .

Thanks in advance for any help..  This is not causing any major problems,
but it is very annoying to have to kill off these processes every couple of
hours.. Thanks

Andre
