Here's a more extreme example:

This actually marks the point at which the problem most recently manifested; we restarted dbmail-pop3d about 1.25 houes later when we noticed that it was no longer possible to log in via POP.

I am not sure if it is related, but I am also seeing:

(this is after restart), and 10.10.10.2 is the node that remaps pop sessions for the entire site. Ordinarily this would also be fine, except I am not seeing *any* messages from most of these processes again. Is that normal?
