Oh - also, sorry for the self-followup...

normal ps output:
root      8978     1  0 17:55 ?        00:00:00 /usr/bin/perl -T -w 
/usr/local/bin/spamd -d -D
root      8979  8978  0 17:55 ?        00:00:00 spamd child
root      8980  8978  0 17:55 ?        00:00:00 spamd child
root      8981  8978  0 17:55 ?        00:00:00 spamd child
root      8982  8978  0 17:55 ?        00:00:00 spamd child
root      8983  8978  0 17:55 ?        00:00:00 spamd child

ps output after spamd seems to die - note how there seems to be one
process left that's a child of the master process.
