There is a somewhat large negative impact. Eventually (or possibly, immediately
after the first set of errors), spamd may think there are too many children
running and not spawn any more than min_children at a time.
When the errors occur, main_ping_kids() runs child_error_kill(), sending it the
long-dead kid's pid. child_error_kill() runs set_child_state() on that pid.
Now there's an entry in $self->{kids} for the pid that's long gone and will
never be acted on. If there are enough of these, adapt_num_children() won't
spawn any more kids until spamd is restarted.
