I put some extra debugging code in the dbmail pop server to dump some info
when a suicide failed, and got the following (where the 0-> etc are the
list of pids):
Sep 28 07:03:47 mag dbmail/pop3d[60341]: Maximum # of connections reached,
committing suicide...
Sep 28 07:03:47 mag dbmail/pop3d[60341]: ...suicide failed, dumping context...
Sep 28 07:03:47 mag dbmail/pop3d[60341]: defchld=5, default_children=0,
maxchld=150, total_children=9
Sep 28 07:03:47 mag dbmail/pop3d[60341]: 0->93677
Sep 28 07:03:47 mag dbmail/pop3d[60341]: 1->60149
Sep 28 07:03:47 mag dbmail/pop3d[60341]: 2->49070
Sep 28 07:03:47 mag dbmail/pop3d[60341]: 3->23285
Sep 28 07:03:47 mag dbmail/pop3d[60341]: 4->24833
Sep 28 07:03:47 mag dbmail/pop3d[60341]: ...exiting
It happened after a total of about 10 other processed had successfully
suicided. The most recent successful suicides were:
Sep 27 02:27:36 mag dbmail/pop3d[50001]: Maximum # of connections reached,
committing suicide...
Sep 27 11:50:56 mag dbmail/pop3d[38814]: Maximum # of connections reached,
committing suicide...
Sep 27 11:54:50 mag dbmail/pop3d[40963]: Maximum # of connections reached,
committing suicide...
Sep 27 20:17:36 mag dbmail/pop3d[22534]: Maximum # of connections reached,
committing suicide...
Sep 28 06:55:11 mag dbmail/pop3d[60342]: Maximum # of connections reached,
committing suicide...
which all look fine. I am now waiting for the next failed suicide to see
what the list of pids looks like.
