Seems like a forked child process crashes and the Net::Server parent creates another one to fulfill the need to have two running child processes. > This problem occurred for me immediately after upgrading the OS from > Fedora Core 3 to Fedora Core 4. > It worked perfectly under Fedora Core 3 with Perl 5.8.5. > Current environment is Fedora Core 4 with Perl 5.8.6 and Net::Server 0.88. > > Amavisd-new will ONLY start in debug mode, dies immediately when using > the init.d script provided by the RPM package. See if you get any further information logged by a child process by setting $log_level to 5 and NOT starting in debug mode. Since the child seems to be crashing, perhaps 'strace -f' can show what are the last couple of system calls before the child process disappears. > Permissions have been checked, double checked.

My wild guess is you may have an inappropriate or mixed-up version of BerkeleyDB.
