After testing, I find that when 'spamc' times out (-t), it breaks its
connection with 'spamd' and reports back a ERRORLEVEL 74, IOERR.  

However, 'spamd' appears to KEEP ON PROCESSING the message, even though the
'spamc' client has quit.  When 'spamd' finishes, it reports back to the
./maillog (twice for some reason).  By this time, procmail had exited with
an ERRORLEVEL 75, TEMPERR has already requeued the original message in the
deferred queue.  

Is there a way to make 'spamd' time out?  Why doesn't the timeout of 'spamc'
tell 'spamd' to quit?  Is this a bug or a feature?
