Same here.

We have seen this too.  Our coldfusion processes 
restart anywhere between 0 and 1000 times a day.

How is mail set up?  Do you have an external mail
server or is coldfusion pointed to sendmail running on
the local box?

If cf5 goes into a "restarting frenzy" we have a cron
job to delete the oldest file in
/opt/coldfusion/mail/spool  

Usually cfexec restarts cfserver but there's another
cron job running to restart coldfusion if it dies
completely.
 
As far as I can tell it isn't the 0 length files that
appear in the spool dir but bad email addresses that
cause the problem.  People tend to type all kinds of
junk in email address submission boxes :-)

I think CF can handle 1 bad address in the spool but
if there are 2 or more *bad things* happen.

I have just spent a couple of hours trying to
replicate the problem on a test server unsucessfully,
so the server might have to be under load at the same
time for it to happen?

Good luck with sorting it out.
