qmail-send has 0 accumulated CPU time?  It would appear that qmail-send
is dying rapidly every time supervise restarts it.  However, the
supervise process has the same start time and 0 accumulated CPU time as
well.  Did you just stop and restart qmail?  If so, this report isn't
particularly helpful.  Was mail not being delivered when you did this
ps?  Was there actually mail waiting to be delivered?

What's in the qmail log at this point?  qmail will always log a message
if it can't start.  If you say "nothing", then you'll have to
truss/strace qmail-start, following children, to get to qmail-send.

is dying.
