Re: Repeated spamd dying due to SIGCHLD signal 11

Hi,

  Ok, update 2:

I proved that my system had the perl but (via a test script) as  
previously mentioned. Ive therefore downgraded perl to perl 5.8.9. I  
still have the same problem with SpamAssassin perl processes crashing.
I´ve take some more logs from spamd with debugging enabled, this is  
the last thing you see before it goes wrong:

Anyone any ideas?

Hi all,

  ok I did some furhter work and when testing (sa-learn --sync) the  
bayes db integrity its not good. So basically the problem was caused  
by a corrupt bayes DB.


Thanks Andy.

Hi,

  An update it looks like the problem may well be this Perl bug  
that affects Perl 5.10.1 in the FreeBSD ports tree...

thanks Andy.
