I'm having a weird problem that shows up every day about 50 times in a burst.

My logs show this:

Nov 4 01:11:23 [EMAIL PROTECTED] spamd[12335]: Cannot open bayes databases /var/spool/filter/bayes/bayes_* R/W: lock failed: Interrupted system call
Nov 4 01:11:23 [EMAIL PROTECTED] spamd[12335]: identified spam (25.3/5.0) for filter:1001 in 17.2seconds, 923 bytes.
Nov 4 01:11:23 [EMAIL PROTECTED] spamd[12335]: result: Y 25 - BAYES_99,DATE_IN_FUTURE_12_24,DNS_FROM_RFC_WHOIS,HTML_40_50,HTML_MESSAGE,MIME_HTML_ONLY,MISSING_SUBJECT,MSGID_DOLLARS,RATWARE_ZERO_TZ,RAZOR2_CF_RANGE_51_100,RAZOR2_CHECK,URIBL_AB_SURBL,URIBL_OB_SURBL,URIBL_SBL,URIBL_SC_SURBL,URIBL_WS_SURBL scantime=17.2,size=923,mid=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>,bayes=1,autolearn=unavailable


The bayes files live on a tmpfs at /var/spool/filter. I haven't had this problem before, and it doesn't seem to be fatal to the message, just to the bayes checks. The system is SpamAssassin version 3.0.0 running on Perl version 5.8.4 called by postfix 2.1.5. The system handles around a quarter of a million messages a day, and doesn't seem to have any problems except this small error.

Does anybody have ideas where to start looking for the problem?
