We're experiencing some strange issues and have been looking at qpsmtpd-prefork's output with $debug set. We're getting a whole lot of lines like this:

orphaned child, pid: 1285 removed from memory at /usr/bin/qpsmtpd-prefork line 598.

Any ideas?

What's orphaned is not a child process, but a shared mem hash record for a process which no longer exists. I suspect that code is racy.
