If you strace that process, you'll see that it goes back to select() waiting for a new connection on the socket. You should expect each child process to be reused up to 100 times.
A manual connection where I connect, couple bad commands, server dumps me - gone from the process table.
I don't see that. I see the process which writes "521 Closing connection. 4 unrecognized commands. Perhaps you should read RFC 2821?" goes back to select().
Again, seems to be some progress, but not complete, yet.
Are you noticing any actual functional problems?
