This advice applies ONLY to the big-concurrency patch (specifically, the one
from www.qmail.org). Other big-* patches are not quite as forgiving.
I would stop qmail before doing make setup (or moving qmail-send and
qmail-?spawn into place). qmail-send runs as a daemon that starts
qmail-?spawn, if the running version of qmail-send doesn't speak the same
language as the invokable versions of qmail-?spawn, you could run into some
trouble. If you're doing a live heavy-duty mission-critical production
server, test out the patch (and your planned patch procedure) on another
server first.
