A few days I 'updated world' and spamassassin 3.04 was replaced by
spamassassin 3.1 - after a few minutes spent migrating my configuration
(to enable Razor,Pyzor and DCC) all seemed to be working well... but
then, after running fine for a day or two, the spamd daemon stopped
responding and started writing an error about "syswrite(7) to the system
log every few seconds:

Subsequently mail was (as far as I can tell) delivered without tagging
messages. When I restart spamasssassin (i.e. /etc/init.d/spamd restart)
the problem disappears - at least temporarily This is not a one-off
occurrence - but I do not know what triggers the failure. On this
occasion spamassasssin failed reporting syswrite(7) last time it
reported syswrite(8) but otherwise behaviour was similar. The time at
which the failure occurred does not seem to be relevant as while this
time it was at just past midnight, previously it failed at 15:30.
Does anyone else have this problem with Spamassassin 3.1?
