I have recently discovered the follow notations in my
"/var/log/messages" log:

The one that I am interested in is the last on. It never appeared
before. I have tried several "cold" reboots but the same message
appears. It must have started after a recent updating of the ports;
however, I am not sure exactly when. It appears to be affecting Postfix
as Postfix is running much slower than it previously did.

I am open to any suggestions. I tried Googling; however, I could not
find any help associated this this message.
