What's going on is that when spamd starts-up, the command field in the
output of ps is:
/usr/local/bin/perl -T -w /usr/local/bin/spamd ...
When the rc reload command is used (which sends HUP to spamd) this
changes to:
/usr/local/bin/perl5.26.2 -T -w /usr/local/bin/spamd ...
perl and perl5.26.2 are the same binary hard-linked.
The second version doesn't match what the rc scripts are expecting,
which makes it look like spamd has terminated and the pid has been
reassigned to a different process.
