I might be wrong since I do not use mysql, but my guess would be that the
new domain admin is adding users, apparently too fast for your machine to
process.
Each time a new user is added it attempts to recompile the vpasswd file to
cdb; correct?
Check what the tcprules process it doing, it should tell you.
