courieresmtp: Crashed child process 14079, while delivering to somewhere.com

------------------
My server is collecting hundreds of emails in its outgoing queue.  My
logfile is filled with reports of the above message.  Can you tell me what
is happening here?  I believe most of the emails that are causing trouble
are ones that have their backup MX set for my server (as mentioned in a
previous email).

Thank you

P.S. --
I at least tracked this error to the courieresmtp.c file at the following
block of code:

static void terminated_child(unsigned idx, unsigned delid)
{
        if (ESMTP_TERMINATING(&info[idx]))
        {
        char    *p;

                if ((p=info[idx].pendel) != 0)
                {
                char **cols=module_parsecols(info[idx].pendel);

                        /*
                        ** Clear to 0 to prevent infinite loop if fork fails
                        ** in start_child.
                        */
                        info[idx].pendel=0;
                        start_child(idx, info[idx].pendel, cols);
                        info[idx].pendel=p;
                        send_child(idx, info[idx].pendel, cols);
                        return;
                }

                info[idx].pid= -1;
                return;
        }

        /* Oops, something crashed.  Clean it up */

        clog_msg_start_err();
        if (info[idx].pid < 0)
        {
                clog_msg_str("Unable to fork");
        }
        else
        {
                clog_msg_str("Crashed child process ");
                clog_msg_uint(info[idx].pid);
        }

        if (ESMTP_BUSY(&info[idx]))
        {
                clog_msg_str(", while delivering to ");
                clog_msg_str(info[idx].host);
                module_completed(idx, delid);
        }
        clog_msg_send();
        close(info[idx].cmdpipe);
        info[idx].cmdpipe= -1;
        info[idx].pid= -1;
}
