Looks like for some reason a SA instance couldn't get a lock on the AWL database to update it before amavis killed it. Provided you don't have your bayes or AWL stored on an NFS share, you might consider switching to lock_method flock. That will speed up lock/release operations. However, it's very strange that it timed out locking the AWL.. Normally SA processes aren't in the AWL very long. Is your amavis set with an abnormally short timeout for SA?
