I'm using spamc from my .procmailrc to talk to a dedicated spamd box. 
I'm seeing an intermittent failure of the system, and I thought I'd
ask if others have seen the same thing.

Essentially, there are spams making it through to my mailbox which
don't even have an "X-Spam-Status" header.  Yet, I'm certain that
the spam was passed to spamc by procmail.

Once I caught it in the act -- an strace of spamc showed it sitting on
a "read(3,...)", which is the server file descriptor.  Since I invoke
spamc thusly:

   :0fw
   | /opt/protect/bin/spamc-new -f -d spamcan -p 783

...I'm assuming that spamc is timing out, and the procmail failsafe flag
is taking over.

Has anyone else seen this problem?

Also, our spamd is patched to avoid the cpu-churning regex problem.

Thanks,

 -Scott
