I would suggest running with -D and monitoring spamd memory size as it starts up. Something is causing it to balloon to massive sizes after startup. Presumably you are limiting the size of the messages sent in for scanning, as recommended in the documentation? Scanning messages over 500KB in size will result in a corresponding increase in resident size for the scanner process, so a very large message could cause a massive scanner process. (spamc will do this limit by default.) Also you're the first person on linux to note the "select timeout failed" bug. could you attach output from strace and "spamd -D" to a new bugzilla bug on this? - --j.
