We have two new Compaq Proliant, and it is happening with both of them, so I
don�t think this is a hardware issue...
On the other hand, it doesn�t crash. I have read the link Nick provided, but
I don�t have any segfault. Just sometimes happens that I can do a pop 3
connection, but can�t authenticate. I have set all the concurrencies to
1000....
but don�t know anything more to do...
Any more ideas will be greatly appreciated!

Whenever I hear sporadic behavior like this, my first instinct is to blame
hardware; but I'm a die-hard *NIX fan so it's not always the case.
Anyways, I would recommend checking through your system for
descrepencies. Usually what I do to check for this is grab the latest
stable release of GCC and compile away (with `make -j [number of CPUs]
bootstrap`). If I get any SegFaults or the like, I dig into the matter
more using the checklist at http://www.BitWizard.nl/sig11/ . Do it late
at night, though, and you won't have as many angry customers in the event
you do manage to crash your system. It's tedious; but it works. =)
