To recap, upon reboot, mimedefang continually pukes out error messages
like the ones listed above until the process is manually stopped and
restarted. After that, it works just fine.
So the system runs OK under your environment, but not under the startup
environment. From the error messages, I'd suspect that you have somehow
limited the memory use of processes on the system by default, and then
in your interactive environment you specifically remove any limits, so
when you start it manually all is OK. To test this, include some code
in the system startup script to dump the current shell limits to a temp
file, and see what happens when you next restart the system.
Could you give a poor ignorant soul a hint as to how to go about that?
I'm not sure what exactly I'm looking for. Where can I find these
variables in the current running config?
I didn't do any of that on purpose and the problem appeared at the same
time as a perl upgrade, so I'd guess it was related to a change in either
perl itself or the port.
One thing I notice is that there's a new perl.core in the defang queue
each time I reboot. Can anything useful be learned from that?
