Good.

Everything is normal :)

The process didn't crash, it was terminated by nanny, 'just in case'.

amavisd-nanny would kill a *busy* process after $activettl seconds,
which is 10 minutes by default.

amavisd-nanny would kill an *idle* process after $idlettl seconds,
which is 3 hours by default. If the mail traffic is really low
and this process really didn't process any mail in the last three
hours this may happen - in which case this is just an unnecessary
kill, a new child will be created right away. The only reason for
killing a long lasting idle process is a precaution - perhaps it
was idle for so long because of some unknown/unexplicable problem
(although this never happened so far).

If a process would crash, nanny would report a 'went away'.
