A scan of the sources reveals that that error message is generated
from the follow C code:
if (chdir("queue") == -1) die(62);
The reasons why that could fail are pretty limited in the qmail
scenario.
o The directory does not exist - installation error?
o The file system is flaky - fsck?
o The queue is on an NFS server - not allowed with qmail
o The process does not have permission - installation error?
Hmmm, that's all I can think of right now.
I have not heard of chdir intermittantly working before. Solaris or
otherwise.
Regards.
