Probably yes. I don't think Justin Erenkran, Brian Grossman and me are
the only ones who use forkserver, but that's at least three people on
the list who did have the problem. It may be related to the perl version
or OS, but since Justin is running 5.8.6 on BSD and I'm running 5.6.1 on
Linux that doesn't seem too likely.
Of course if you restart the server automatically if it goes down, you
may even notice that it crashes. It took me some time to figure out why
Nagios complained about once per day that the SMTP server was down.
Yes, I think ripping out the REAPER code fixed the segfaults we were
seeing. But, it didn't solve the performance problems. We switched to
Apache::Qpsmtpd because forkserver couldn't handle our load any more. So
far, Apache::Qpsmtpd appears to be a champ. -- justin
