similar that you implemented ?

We recently expanded the sites on the server, and one part of this meant
that the simulataneous mail usage went up - and crashes became (much) more
frequent. To get round it we wrote a replacement CFmail tag that created an
uniqely named text file in a directory in the correct format to be piped
into sendmail. A cronjob then does that piping. The server is now pretty
stable (it restarts the CF bit once every couple of weeks - so we might
force a CF restart weekly to control this)

looked at output from strace but couldn't tell which process actually
crashed...

Turn off any scheduled tasks to see if that makes any difference. What I did
was look at the times in the cf logs of restarts and cross referenced this
to cfms that were being called at the time using the apache logs

My kit is a Dell dual P3 866 with 1 gig RAM, a big RAID array running RH 7.2
and CF 5
